PREFACE.
The leading idea of the present work is to give the pedigrees, carefully elaborated
from contemporary documents, of every notable family seated in Suffolk before the era
of the Georges, together with abstracts of some, at any rate, of the wills and other
evidences upon which these pedigrees are based. It is not pretended that these genealogies
are exhaustive or absolutely free from error, but they have been put together, with
infinite pains, after years of preliminary research. For, before a line of them had been
printed, some twenty thousand of the Suffolk wills at Bury, Ipswich, Norwich, Lambeth,
and Somerset House had been noted in abstract and elaborately indexed ; the Suffolk
pedigrees in the Heralds’ Visitations, and the Harleian and other Manuscripts had been
copied and collated ; the leading features of vast numbers of Suffolk Chancery Proceed¬
ings, chiefly of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, had been jotted down in the
form of brief summaries ; whilst the gossipping collections of local antiquaries of the
Stuart period, such as Ryece, D’Ewes, Candler and Blois, had been studied, and in part
transcribed for future use. It need scarcely be added that the folios of Davy and the
Jermyn MSS. in the British Museum have been largely drawn upon in the compilation
of the present Volume.
A full description of the various Manuscripts and Records bearing upon Suffolk
Family history will be found in a paper by the Editor of this work in the East
Anglian , New Series, Vol. IV, p. 17. In print Suffolk genealogy has been chiefly
represented, hitherto, by the well-planned but fragmentary edition of Harvey’s Visitation
of 1561, edited by Dr. Joseph Jackson Howard, Maltravers Herald, and by the Visita¬
tions of Harvey, Cooke, and Camden, for which, as for many another record of our
ancient gentry, we are indebted to the untiring enterprise of Mr. Walter C. Metcalfe.
The magnificent quartos of Gage and Suckling form an instalment of that standard history
of the County which, it is to be hoped, will eventually, if not perhaps in our day,
see the light. Both works, it need scarcely be added, give pedigrees of the families,
ancient and modern, which were seated in the Hundreds of which they respectively treat.

PREFACE.
The Editor cannot allow this Volume to issue from the press without acknowledging
his obligations to the many friends who have aided him in his researches and assisted
in the publication of these pages ; to the Clergy of the County who have permitted
him to consult their Parish Registers ; to the officials of the Public Record Office and
of the Principal Probate Registry, Somerset House, to the District Probate Registrars
at Norwich, Ipswich, and Peterborough ; and to Members of the College of Arms and
other kindred institutions.
In particular he would mention the names of His Highness Prince Frederick Duleep
Singh, Sir W. Brampton Gurdon, K.C.M.G., M.P., Mr. Charles H. Athill, F.S.A., Richmond
Herald, Mr. Gery Milner-Gibson-Cullum, F.S.A., Mr. Robert C. Winthrop, jun., of Boston,
U.S., the Rev. C. H. Evelyn White, F.S.A., and Mr. James Junius Goodwin. He retains
a grateful sense of his indebtedness to the late Sir Bartle Frere, K.C.B., and the late
Colonel Chester, for help rendered him in the earlier stages of his researches, when the
evolution of Suffolk Manorial Families was but a cherished possibility of the future.

The origin of the Winthrop coat lias been the subject of a variety of speculations, there
being few instances of an animal superposed upon two or more chevrons. The earliest known repre¬
sentations of the Winthrop Arms are as follows : —
1. A Confirmation, dated June 24, 1592, by William Detheck, Garter, to John Winthrop (then
of Groton Manor, afterward of Aghadowne, co. Cork) of the “ Shield & Cote of Amies apperteyning to
his Name and Ancestors,” namely, Argent, three chevrons gules crenelles, over all a lion rampant
sable armed and langued azure ; with the crest of a hare ppr. running on a mount vert. The original
Confirmation, with the signature and seal of Detheck is still in existence, together with what appears
to be a duplicate of it, but without a seal.
2. An emblazoned pedigree on parchment, illustrating the alliance of Winthrop and Forth in
1605, and signed, “Scrutavi, Ricardus Sl George, A0 domini 1" Martii 1610.”
3. The Visitation of Suffolk in 1612 ; and Harl. MS., No. 1820, which apparently formed
part of the note-book of that Visitation. In these MSS. Winthrop impales Still of Lincolnshire.
4. Two armorial-seals (one Winthrop, the other Winthrop and Forth) affixed to letters written,
in 1618, by John Winthrop, then of Groton Manor and afterward Governor of Massachusetts.
It is noticeable that these armorial-seals bear the three chevrons described in the Confirmation,
while the pedigree of 1610 and the Visitation of 1612 display two chevrons only. It is difficult
to account for this discrepancy, which may have resulted from some carelessness or misunderstanding.
It is further noticeable that in the rough notes of the Confirmation preserved in the College of Aims,
and in the trackings of the Visitation, the chevrons are plain and not embattled, which can only be
accounted for by a similar supposition. Be this as it may, the true arms of Winthrop, as originally
authorized by the heralds, require three crenellated chevrons, and, with rare exceptions, they have
been so borne by successive generations of the family to the present time.

Internal evidence shows the so-called “ Latin Pedigree ” of Winthrop (1498-1623) to have
been chiefly compiled by the third Adam Winthrop (d. 1623), a fragment of whose Diary (1595-1610)
is printed in the “ Life and Letters of John Winthrop.” The original record is not in existence, but
the following is taken from a copy, in the handwriting of John Winthrop, F.E.S., when a young man,
which is believed to date from 1705 : —
Non longo a Newarke super Trent cst quidam vicus appellatus Winthorpe (vulgo Winthrop)
ox quo Winthropi de Groton in com. Suffolciae nomen et originem siunn habuerunt.1
.... Adamus Winthropus de [Groton in comitatu Suffolciae armiger & dominus mannerii de
Groton]2 natus fuit in ... .
.... Anno domini .... Adamus Winthropus uxorem duxit Joane Burton Alia D: Burton.3
1498. Anno domini 1498 et anno Regni regis Henrici Septimi decimo quarto, die nono Octobr
in oppido Lannamiae4 * in comitatu Suffolciae, Adamus filius suns primogenitus natus fuit, viz., uno
anno post preliii apud Blackheath held.
1 This paragraph is suspected to have been an interpolation of the copyist, who may have chosen this method
for chronicling what was undoubtedly an ancient family tradition. The will of a William Wynethorpe, of Wynethorpe,
co. Notts, was proved May 4, 1445, and in it is mention of a son Robert, but there is no proof that the Suffolk
Wintlirops descend from either of them.
2 The words in brackets are believed to have been an interpolation of the copyist. The third Adam W. must have
known that the manor of Groton was acquired by his father, and not by his grandfather. There is no proof that the
first Adam W. was of Groton, or that he was entitled to be styled armiycr. A pedigree dated 1742 calls him “Serjeant-
at-law,” but there is no evidence of this, and it is very improbable.
3 The pedigree of 1742 (very unreliable) styles her widow of L>! Burton and dau. and co-heir of Dt Burnell.

1 It was in this year 1544 that he acquired Groton Manor. The daughter Mary, of whom there is no further
mention in this record, is stated to have married, 1, William Celie, of London, haberdasher ; 2, Abraham Veysey, of
Ipswich, yeoman. She is repeatedly referred to in her brother’s diary as “ my sister Veysey.”
2 In the margin of this entry are inserted the words “ on fryday,” evidently the day of the week on which the
birth occurred.
a She is not mentioned in her father’s will, and undoubtedly died in childhood. It was about this time that he
became Master of the Clothworkers Company of London, of which he had long been a prominent member.
* The date of this marriage was June 7, 1563, as entered in the Groton Registers.
5 Unless some portion of the record is missing, the writer omitted to enter the marriage of his brother William,
whose wife is stated to have been the dau. of ... Norwoode of Kent. Nor does he appear to have subsequently
chronicled the marriages of four of his brother William’s children, with whom he was on terms of intimacy and who are
mentioned in his diary.

1 The words “ my seconde wife ” and similar expressions later, on seem clearly to establish the authorship of the
third Adam W., who probably copied many of the earlier entries from his father’s papers.
3 This William Winthrop is stated to have been an active supporter of the Reformed Faith, and a letter of his
to John Foxe, the Martyrologist, is printed in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society for 1877. He was
at one time Churchwarden of St. Michael’s, Cornhill, the registers of which parish contain the baptisms of most of his
children.
3 These two entries relating to the same person (afterward the great Puritan leader and Governor of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony) suggest that the copyist of 1705 may have had two documents before him, one of them,
perhaps an almanac. There exist thirteen almanacs containing entries by the third Adam W., but the earliest is of 1599.
* She died in 1679, having in 1622 become the second wife of Emmanuel Downing of the Inner Temple, by
whom she had several children, one of whom was the celebrated Sir George Downing, Bart. For some interesting

1 This was the John Winthrop so well known in New England history as “John Winthrop the younger,”
long Governor of Connecticut and one of the most active of the early members of the Royal Society. For numerous
letters of his see Winthrop Papers, Part IV. (5 Mass. Hist. Coll, viii.)
2 This list of children is partly illegible. Sir Thomas Mildmay was son of the William Mildmay, of Springfield,
before-mentioned, and his son Henry became Sir Henry Mildmay of Graces, a distinguished soldier of the Irish wars.
3 This John Winthrop became one of the promoters of the Carbery plantation in the south of Ireland, acquiring
an estate at Aghadowne, co. Cork, and eventually disposing of his life-interest in Groton Manor to his brother and
nephew. He was long separated from his wife, from whom he took steps to obtain a divorce, and in his old age claimed
to have married secondly Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas Powlden, of Rathgogan, co. Cork, to whom and to whose children
he devised his property, to the chagrin of his relations in .Suffolk. His son by his first marriage died in boyhood,
and his natural son, John Winthrop, younger of Aghadowne, died there unmarried in 1681. His executrix and alleged
widow married Thomas Nott, one of the promoters of the Carbery plantation. The first wife, Elizabeth Rysby, married
secondly one Reynold Brauncli, of St. Saviour’s, Southwark, the licence in the Bishop of London’s Court being dated
8 July, 1617. A letter from Brampton Gttrdon to Gov. John Winthrop in New England alludes to her death at
Southwark in 1637.
4 The last named became the poet and dramatist, William Alabaster, D.D,
5 In these two instances the precise date is not given, but Adam W. is known to have been buried March 28,
1623, and his widow to have died April 19, 1629.

SUFFOLK MANORIAL FAMILIES.
The so-called Latin pedigree of the third Adam Winthrop ends here, and it seems reasonable
to assume that the copyist of 1705 did not have before him the record in its entirety, as it contains
no mention of the deaths of the writer’s daughters-in-law, or the second and third marriages of his
son, or the births of any of his son’s younger children. The following five references to some of
these events are taken from the diary and almanacs already alluded to : —
1607. The xxth of Jan. my sonnes second sonne Henry was Christened at Groton. Mr Sands

The so-called “Emblazoned Pedigree,” attested by Richard St. George, 1 March 1610, is in the possession of the heirs of
the late Thomas Charles Winthrop, Esq., of New York. It is so faded and discoloured, through process of time, that the
tinctures of the escutcheons cannot always be given with certainty. The arms attributed to Sharpe of Islington and Browne
of Edwardstone do not appear to have been recorded in the Herald’s College.

At fo. 1 of this MS. is a tricking of the arms of “ Winthrop :” Ar. two chevrons gu. ; over
all a lion rampant sa., impaling Still : Sa. guttee d’eau three roses ar., with the note, “ Per Dethick,
Garter, ye 24 of June 1592 both of them.” At fo. 73b is a rough drawing of the crest of “Wintherop :”
On a mount vert, a hare courant proper.
In the corresponding MS. in the Heralds’ College, where the same arms are given, the marriage
of John Winthrop with the daughter of Risby is omitted. Both MSS. contain inaccuracies. John
was the second son, and Adam the third, of the second Adam Winthrop. John Forth was of Great
Stambridge. There is no evidence whatever of his alleged connection with Stondon (or Standon) in
Essex, and it is unlikely. There are omissions also. Important matches, as for example that of Alice
Winthrop with Sir Thomas Mildmay, are altogether ignored. The pedigree would appear to have been
jotted down, somewhat hastily, by Raven, during a personal interview with Adam Winthrop the
Diarist, or his son John Winthrop, afterwards the well-known Governor of Massachusetts.

The Pedigrees here printed are derived from the following sources of information : —
1. Wills, Administrations, Parish-Registers, and other contemporary records.
2. The Diary of the third Adam Winthrop (1595-1610), and the account of his family
compiled by him, known as the “ Latin Pedigree.”
3. The mass of Winthrop family-papers preserved in New England, selections from which
have been in course of publication from 1825 to the present time, and now comprise two volumes
of Winthrop’s Journal (or History of N.E.), edited by the late Hon. James Savage, two volumes
of the “Life and Letters of John Winthrop” (1587-1649) edited by the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop,
six volumes of miscellaneous selections, edited by Committees of the Massachusetts Historical
Society, and much additional matter of importance scattered through other publications of the
same Society.
The Pedigrees have also been collated with the Suffolk Visitation of 1612; with the two
Harleian MSS. in the British Museum, numbered respectively Harl. MS. No. 1820, fo. 16b (date
1611), Harl. MS. No. 1560 (date, seventeenth century); with the pedigree compiled by John
Winthrop, F.R.S., in 1742; with the pedigree filed in the College of Arms in 1768 by Benjamin
Winthrop, Governor of the Bank of England, and numbered C. 6. D. 14. The two last-named
documents, however, abound in errors and omissions, which is the case with most genealogies of
the Winthrop family, whether in print or manuscript.
The Editor thankfully records his obligations to Mr. Robert C. Winthrop, Jun., of Boston,
U.S.A., for much valuable information concerning the different branches of his family, for much
assistance in compiling the pedigrees, and for transcripts of ancient documents still in the possession
of himself or his kinsmen on the other side of the Atlantic.

however, giving any clue to the precise degree of relationship existing between them.

( See Pedigree C.)
Samuel Winthrop was some time a student at Harvard College in N.E., but left without
taking a degree in order to seek liis fortune in foreign countries, his father having experienced
pecuniary reverses. A letter of his, written in Latin soon after his arrival in Teneriffe in the
autumn of 1645, shows that he had obtained employment in the Counting-room of a merchant
named Ferdinand Body whose partner was one David Stephens, and where his fellow-clerk was
“a Knight’s sonne of Kent,” whom he finds not capable. In the spring of 1647 he removed to
Barbadoes, and some months later to St. Kitts, whence he wrote his father that he had received
much kindness from the Governer, Sir Thomas Warner, and his lady, and also from one Captahi
Clement Everett. In January, 1648, he was in Fayal on his way to Holland, where he arrived
early in April and where he married a few months later. He alludes to the miscarriage of a
number of letters about this time and the particulars of his marriage are wanting, but Governor
Winthrop wrote from Boston to his son John in November, 1648, “your brother Samuel is manned
in Holland to a Dutchwoman and intends to come this way and so to Barbadoes.” This marriage
must have taken place in June or July, *as Samuel makes passing allusions to his “wife” in
a letter dated “Rotterdam, August 7, 1648.” In the summer of 1649 he was heard of in Antigua
where he was acting as agent for one “ Mr Rich of London,” and where he appears to have
resided until 1653-4, when he removed to St. Kitts, where several of his children were bom.
In September, 1657, he wrote his brother John expressing his deep regret that the cares of his
business had obliged him repeatedly to postpone a visit to N.E., but he says he has sent his two
elder sons thither to be educated. In October, 1660, he alludes to the possibility of his settling
in N.E., but adds, “ I have taken much paines out of nothing to gett an estate and it lying in
landes and plantacons I cannot so order them as to be a certain profit to me in my absence.”
In or about 1662 he returned to Antigua, where he resided until his death. In July, 1664, he
writes his brother John that he had received more favours than he expected from the new Royal
Governor, Lord Willoughby, and that the latter had confirmed him in his lands. In 166|, he
writes his brother John an interesting account of the taking of Antigua by the French, whereby
he suffered heavy pecuniary losses. Not long before, as a result of his intimacy with the
celebrated George Fox during the latter’s stay in the W.I., Samuel Winthrop had become a Quaker,
and in Besse’s “Sufferings of the people called Quakers” (vol. ii., p. 371), is a tribute to the
courage displayed by him when a Commissioner to treat with the French. This change of faith
does not appear to have lessened the esteem in which he was held, as in 166f, he was appointed
Lieutenant-Governor of Antigua and he continued in office until 1671. His letters to his family
in N.E. give the impression of a man of affectionate disposition and deep religious feeling. The
latest of them which has been preserved was written in January, 1673, from Barbadoes, whither
he had gone on a visit to Loi’d Willoughby. He died in Antigua in the following year at the
comparatively early age of forty-seven. West Indian records are in such a confused and
unsatisfactory condition that his will has not been found, but it is known to have been dated
December 8, 1672.
His wife died in the latter part of December, 1675, and her will (dated December 11, 1675)
is in the Registry at St. John’s, Antigua (lib. C. p. 97.)
32
WINTHROP OF GROTON.
She bequeaths to son Henry “ all my part of Barbuda Island with all the stock.” To son
Samuel “all my part and share in [illeg.] and Long Island, with the stock, as well as my part
of land and storehouses at St. John’s, and my gray Barbuda horse.” To dan. Eliz: Williams £6
sterling to buy a tankard. To dau. Sarah Jones ten thousand pounds of muscovado sugar and
a silver tankard. To dau. Rebecca Winthrop forty thousand pounds of muscovado sugar (one-quarter
of it on her attaining the age of sixteen), “also my side saddle and furniture thereunto belonging
<k a negro man to wait upon her, likewise ye negro girl named Lucy, and a silver porringer, &
all my wearing apparell.” To son Stephen “ all my part & share of Groton Hall plantation, also
a negro named Barabas,” but if son Stephen die before he marries the legacies to him to fall
to son Samuel. “ To Jonas Langford, for his care & trouble in looking after me in my sickness,
four thousand pounds of muscovado sugar & my great Bible.” My three friends Samuell Jones,
Jonas Langford, and Edmund Hull to be overseers. “ My will is that true Ministers of ye Gospel,
whom ye world in scorn call Quakers, be entertained & accommodated freely, & assisted in wdiat
business or occasion they have, from time to time with all courtesy possible.”
The son Stephen mentioned in this will died in childhood, and it is noticeable that there
is no allusion to Joseph Winthrop, second son of the testatrix, pi’obably for the reason that he
was in independent circumstances. He died in the autumn of 1679, and his will (dated October
13, 1679) is on record at St. John’s (lib. C. p. 117). He bequeaths to “ sister Williams, sister
Sarah Jones, & sister Rebecca Byam, £10 each to buy a piece of plate.” Residue to wife & dau.
but in event of dau.’s decease without issue, then to issue male of brother Samuel, failing which
to issue male of brother Henry ; “ provided that whomsoever of my brother’s sons shall enter into
my estate shall pay out to Samuel and Thomas Williams my nephews one hundred thousand pounds
of sugar to each of them, to my neice Elizabeth Williams three-score thousand pounds of sugar,
to my neice Frances St. John fifty thousand pounds of sugar.” Major William Barnes and Capt.
Samuel Jones to be overseers. Beloved wife Katherine and dear dau. Sarah sole executrixes.
The foregoing are the only two early Winthrop wills which have thus far come to light in
Antigua.
In a work entitled “ Antigua and the Antiguans,” published in London in 1844, and
abounding in errors, it is stated that the sons of Samuel Winthrop “inherited a large estate from
their father, but by means, it is said, little creditable to the parties concerned, were deprived of
their patrimony.” There appeals to be no evidence of the truth of this statement. The two younger
sons, Joseph and Samuel, died while comparatively young men, leaving landed property to heirs
female. The eldest son, Henry, became pecuniarily embarrassed and most of his land was sold.
The will of William Milton, or Millden, 1st husband of Samuel W.’s eldest dau., Elizabeth,
constitutes Samuel W. one of his executors, and devises one third of his estate “unto my espoused
wife, Mrs Elizabeth Winthorpe, daughter of the said Capt. Sam: Winthorpe.” Will dated Nov. 11,
1666 (P.C.C. Bence 32 ; previous probate in Antigua?)
The will of Col. Samuel Jones, husband of Samuel W.’s dau. Sarah, is dated June 15, 1684
and makes her sole heir to over 1,000 acres of land.
The will of Lieut.-Col. Willoughby Byam, husband of Samuel Winthrop’s dau. Rebecca, was
proved March 21, 1692. He devises his property in trust to his brother, Capt. Edward Byam,
and his brothers-in-law, Major Fran: Carlisle and Capt. Sam: Winthrop, for his two sons, William
and Samuel, and his three daughters, Dorothy, Elizabeth, and Sarah, “ all under age and to be
sent to England to be educated.” His wife had apparently predeceased him.

“ John Ponder of Brainktre in the Countie of Essex, gentleman, about the month of
ffebruary in the nineteenth yeare of Her late Majestie Queene Elizabeth, did buy of one Joseph
Man, then of Brainktre aforesaide, the mannor and capitall messuage called Symnells in Hawsted
and Stysted in the saide countie of Essex.” It was stipulated that purchaser should be saved
from all disturbance of Eleanor the wife of said Joseph Mann. About the month of April in
the thirty seventh year of Queen Elizabeth controversies arose which were submitted to arbitrators,
and agreements were concluded ; Mann to deliver a general release, which was signed on the third
of July following. About June, 1603, Mann made his will, leaving goods of great value to Eleanor
his relict and executrix, who now demands dower &c. in said lands. In her answer the widow
bases her case which is a complicated one, upon the wording of the release. “ CompT,” she says,
“ is a man lyttered, and noe doubte did rcadc the deed before he ensealed the same.”

From an Indenture, dated 13 Sept. 2 Edward VI. [Close Roll, 4. Ed. 6. 5th part] we learn
that Ellen then wife of Richard Owtred but formerly wife of Thomas Ecton of Barking in Essex,
had sold lands (late the property of the said Thomas Ecton and of Gabriel Ecton their son) to John
Purvey Citizen and leather seller of London. Dorothy Acton, or Ecton, who made the above will
and Matthew Owtred were probably children of this Ellen, but the exact relationship to the Sharpes

Armorial Jkarinjs.
Harleian MS. 1820, before alluded to as being, in all probability, Raven’s note book during
his Visitation of Suffolk, 1611-12, has a sketch on folio lb of the arms of “Vesye, per Cooke 1576”: —
Ermine, on a cross sable, five martlets or. On fo. 73b is the crest of “Vesy, per Cooke”: — An arm
embowed and conped at the shoulder, erect from the elbow, habited gules, the cuff ermine, holding
in the hand proper, five leaves vert ; a crescent for difference. Harl. MSS. 891 and 1560 give but
four leaves. The eldest branch of the Suffolk family was, as we know, represented by the Veseys
of Wix Abbey in Essex. At fo. 2b are the arms of “ Doyle, wyfe to Vesye ” : — Gules, three stags'
heads, argent, attired or.
The arms of “ Vesey of Hintlesham” in the Visitation of 1664, Harl. MS. 1085, had a mullet
for difference, their ancestor having been a third son. “ Vesey of Bradwell ” had his mullet charged
with a crescent. “Vesey of Aldham ” had a similar shield, with, however, the ominous note appended,
“ See Raven.”
For the claim of the Veseys of Aldham, if indeed they ever made it, to be near cousins of the
Hintlesham Veseys, is somewhat doubtful. It is clearly discountenanced by their arms, as tricked by
Raven on the very first page of his note book, Harl. MS. 1820; “Vesy, per Cooke”: Ermine, on a
cross sable, five martlets or, all within a bordure of the last ; impaling Church, Argent, on a fess
engrailed between three greyhounds’ heads erased sable, three trefoils slipped of the last; the crest
as before described ; the whole being the achievement of the Thomas Vesey of Aldham who married
Elizabeth Church of Maldon in Essex, and was living when Raven made his Visitation of Suffolk
in 1612.
Vmg : Visitation of Suffolk, 1577,
Arms : — Ermine, on a cross sable, 3 martlets or.
Ohkst : — On a wreath a dexter arm embowed, habited gules, the cuff ermine, the hand proper holding four leaves vert.

Armorial Scarings.
The Anns of Risby of Thorpe Morieux, as recorded in Raven’s note hook (Harl. MS. 1820),
during his Suffolk Vistation of 1G11-12, were; — “Sable, on a cross voided five billets between
four griffins segreant, Or : and the Crest, an arm couped at the shoulder, embowed, in mail proper :
in the hand, proper, four ears of wheat, Or, stalked Vert. Harl. MS. 1560, fo. 159, has ears and
stalks alike Vert. In the Emblazoned Pedigree of Winthrop, on page 9, which is confessedly faded
and discoloured, the billets arc not apparent. Other modifications of this coat arc given in the
Heraldic Dictionaries.
But in Bysshe’s Visitation of Suffolk, 1664, the Arms of Risby are altogether different,
viz. ; — Gules, on a bend Argent, three cross croslets Sable. They are so tricked in Harl. MS.
1085, which gives the Arms of the Suffolk and Essex families in the Visitations of that year, and
in the corresponding MS. at the College of Arms. This shield, with occasional modifications, is
carved on the Risby tombstones in the churches of Thorpe Morieux and Felsham, together with a
Crest, On a chapeau, a goat passant. Add. MS. 19,088 fo. 287, and Add. MS. 19,019 fo. 84.
JUsbn f)cfrigrcc : Harl. 1174.
The Risby pedigree, Harl. MS. 1174, fo. 88b, inexact as it is, has been followed more or less closely by other ancient MSS. and
possesses much genealogical value. It is in the handwriting of Henry Lilly, Rouge Croix, ante 1(33S. With this agrees
the most part of the Risby pedigree, Harl. MS. 1560.

The ancient document, endorsed “ Thos Fones his pedigre ’ which is here given verbatim, was found amongst the papers
of Governor John Winthrop. It is evidently based upon the Fones pedigree in the Visitation of Cornwall,
1620, with which it is now collated ( Harl . MS. 1162). It appears to have been compiled in or about 1629.
In the margin is a sketch of the Fones shield -two eagles displayed in chief, with a mullet in base. Opposite
the first marriage of Thomas Fones is a rough tricking of Fones impaling Winthrop : — a lion rampant superposed
upon three chevrons.

Ballards, Goodwyns and Hersents were the property of the second Adam Winthrop, temp.
Edward the Sixth, and were holden of the Honour of Clare (see page 33). In 1 604, Philip
Gostlin of Groton, the testator’s father, who had purchased Goodwyn’s and Hersants of one Robert
Dixon, sued Jasper Huggins, the husband of Dixon’s widow, for recovery of the title deeds, under
colour of which the Huggins had stripped the premises and even secretly sold them (James I.
B. & A., G. 4. 73). The Chancery Bill is signed by the third Adam Winthrop, who was counsel
for the plaintiff, and evidently won the case.
®I)ontas (Sostlxn of ffiroton, 1612 — 1649*
Thomas Gostlin, a Suffolk clothier, was married at Groton, 5 January, 1612, to Jane, second
daughter of the third Adam Winthrop. The births of twelve children, which followed this union^
are recorded in the parish registers or the Winthrop Diary. Alice, the youngest, was baptised on
the tenth of April, 1636. In a letter to his brother-in-law, John Winthrop, dated Groton, March 2,
1639, Thomas Gostlin explains his reasons for not having carried out his purpose of emigrating to New
England. At the outset his wife was indisposed to go, and now that she is willing their means will
not admit of it. He adds “we have a great desyer to send you yor godson, or sonn John, to be
imployed by you, & indeed we had sent him now but for want of moneys.” There is no record,
however, that John Gostlin came over, and he died in or before 1649, as appears by a letter from
his father in that year to John Winthrop, Junr., in which occurs the following passage:— “We have
lost many of or family since your departure' : my sonn Willis, my sonn John, my daughter Mary,
my sonn Wolfe,— these are all gone. The Lord fit us for or change ... My wife desyors to be
remembered to you all. My cosen Stephen Winthrops wife also desyors to be remembered. She

hath bin wtb me above this halfe yeare. Her husband is in Wales. She laye in heere & hathe a
fine girle. My daughter Willis hath changed her name to Bretland. She is married into the
north. She sent writings to yr father concerning some estate she should have in Virginia. I praye
■doe what you can for her.”
Confirmatory of the above is a letter from Anne Willis about her claim to an estate in
Virginia, originally granted to William Willis, deceased, and then in the occupation of Justinian
Cooper. There is also a power of attorney, in which she is described as “Ann Willis of Chettle
in the county of Dorset, widdowe of Nathaneall Willis deceased.” A Zachariah Willis, presumably
a brother of her husband, joins in the power.
One, at least, of the children of Thomas Gostlin and Jane Winthrop seems to have settled
in America. In a letter from Mrs. Emmanuel Downing to her sister-in-law, Mrs. John Winthrop,
written from Salem in New England, without date, but probably in 1639, she says: — “I hear
Margaret Gostlin and my Nan is a cominge [from England], and no we I shall be over mayded. I
hear you want one : if you doe, I should be glad she might serv you till some of our children or
seruants wear disposed of. She doth all the worst worke in her mothers howes and is very
•servisable.” Margaret Gostlin would then have been about twenty years of age. She subsequently
married . . . Heathcote. For an interesting letter from her in Antigua, June 27, 1665, see
■“Massachusetts Historical Society’s Proceedings,” Series 2, vol. v.
IBrnjatnin ffiostlm, 1615 — 1679.
As told in the Winthrop correspondence, the story of Benjamin Gostlin, the honest sea-captain
of the seventeenth century, is very characteristic of the times he lived in. Baptized at Groton
on the 9th of May, 1615, the son of Thomas Gostlin and Jane Winthrop, his wife, he became a
sailor whilst yet in his teens. Under date of March 1, 1635 (old style), Emmanuel Downing writes
to John Winthrop, Jun., afterwards Governor of Connecticut, “ Ben Gostlyn is like to prove a proper
seaman. He is returned out of the Streights and gone to sea againe. His master useth him like
a sonne, and the youth would not change his course of life for any other. So soon as he shalbe
■out of his tyme, he intends to see New England.”
On the 6th of March, 1639 (1640), Benjamin Gostlin himself writes from London, to his
uncle, John Winthrop, Governor of Massachusetts, “ I shold be verry gladd of some good occation
to come to Newe England that I might injoy yr sweete society, but as yett I am in soe good
imployment & in soe hopefull a waye that I shold be much blameable if I shold thrust my selfe
out of it , . . I have bin at home these 6 months, but am now bound for Rushia & from thence to
Leghorne.”
Two months later (May 8, 1640) he writes his uncle again, saying he has been delayed, but
expects to sail in ten days. He sends as a present “a small rondlett of rise and 2 jarrs of oyle.”
The letter shows him to have been a religious man, with some interest in politics. “ The Lord be
mercyfull unto us,” he exclaims, “ & turne the Kinge’s hart, or else to this land, in my foolish
judgement, is nothing to be expected but confushion.”
GOSTLIN OF GROTON.
93
April 14, 1657, Colonel Stephen Winthrop, M.P., writes from London to his brother John in
New England, “ Cosin Ben Gostlin is come rich & safe from the East Indye, but is goeinge
thither againe.” Stephen Winthrop died in the following year, and no later letter of his is
preserved.
Sept. 12, 1658, John Winthrop, Governor of Connecticut, writes his son, Fitz-John Winthrop,
then a Lieutenant in Monk’s army: — “There is a kinsman of ours, Capt. Gostlin, a captaine of a
ship was last yeare at ye East Indies. If he be come home, enquire of his welfare, and of his
father and mother and brothers and sisters. His father lived at Groton in Suffolke, where your
grandfather Winthrop and we lived. His mother was your grandfather Winthrop’s owne sister.
I should be glad to heare of them all. If you are in Scotland, your Aunt Downing, I believe,
knoweth them all. His name is Capt. Benjamin Gostlin. He liveth, I suppose, about Ratcliffe, or
thereabouts. Every merchant or sea capt: upon the Exchange knoweth him and can tell where
he is.”
June 29, 1604, Benjamin Gostlin writes Captain Fitz-John Winthrop (both being then in
London) “My body is so bruised with a blow y* I reced from a horse y* I am incapeable of
mountinge the guard this daye ; therefore request yon to doe it for me, and I shall send you a
horse, with all things requiset, by this boy, to be reddy in the millitary grounde by 2 of the elk.
If you can borrow a buff cote, it will be better than if I send mine, because mine will be too
shorte.” Fitz-John Winthrop’s regiment had recently been disbanded, which accounts for his being
without a horse and uniform.
Nov. 25, 1661, the widow of Emmanuel Downing writes from East Hatley in Cambridgeshire
to her nephew, John Winthrop, then in London as Agent for Connecticut, “ I am sorry to hear of
my nephew and neece Gostlin’s sickness. Quarterns are not civille agues : they will out tarry
their Wellcome. I pray, if opertunity present, my servis to my deare sister and them all : I doubt
not of her much joy to see you ; and to Collonell Winthrops wyfe when you see her.” The persons
here referred to are Benjamin Gostlin, his wife, and his mother, Jane Gostlin (born Winthrop), the
writer’s sister.
Feb. 15, 1663 (1664), Mrs. Emmanuel Downing writes Horn East Hatley to John Winthrop,
Governor of Connecticut : — My son Peters wrote mee word latley that not long since hee had seen
Captaine Gozlin, & y* my nephew had lately made a purchase of an hundred pounds pr An. neer
Groton ; y1 hee & his wrife & children -were purposed to go and live in that, & that my sister and
one of her daughters should continue in his house where he now lives at Stratford.” It would
appear from this that Thomas Gostlin, the Captain’s father, had been some time dead, and that
Jane Gostlin, his mother, was not living at Groton, but in her son’s house, probably at Stratford
Langthorne in Essex. For we learn from a Fine, made in Easter term, 1657, that the latter had
bought, some six years before, three messuages, eight cottages, a barn, two gardens and nineteen
acres of land in the adjoining township of West Ham, of which Stratford Langthorne is a well-
known hamlet. The Fine of the purchase of the property in Groton, the place of his birth and
early associations, will be given hereafter.
Feb. 8, 1667 (1668). Captain Robert Morris, variously styled “mariner” and “merchant,”
writes John Winthrop in New England about some brood mares for a plantation in Maryland. He
adds, “ If you charge bills, I live where you knowe, in Radcliffe over against the stone taverns.
Brother Gostlin was verry ill when I wont from home, and his good wife is dead, and I fear the

children will not find him to have so great an estate as wos thought for. All men that he hath
to doe with cheate him.” The “ brother Gostlin ” here referred to must have been Benjamin, who
may have married a sister of the writer.
Oct. 6, 1679, was proved the will (P.C.C. 129 King), dated Oct. 31, 1672, of “Benjamin
Gostlin of Leigh in the County of Essex, mariner.” He devises to his son, Thomas Gostlin, all his
lands, free or copyhold, in Groton and Kersey in the County of Suffolke. To his daughter Judith,
A\'ife of Zachary Gellum, his house in Moorefields in the County of Middlesex. Said Judith to be
residuary legatee and sole executrix. There can hardly be a doubt that this was the “ cousin
Ben Gostlin ” of the Winthrop papers.

Armorial Hearings.
In his collections towards a pedigree of the Downings of East Hatley, Le Neve (“Baronets,”
vol. III., p. 128, College of Arms) states that “Godfrey Downing of the County of the City
of Norwich ” bore “ Barry of 10 arg. and vert. ; over all a griffon segreant volant or.”
Armorial seals of Emmanuel Downing, his wife, Lucy, and their son, Sir George Downing, (of
which fac-similes have been published by the Massachusetts Historical Society), establish the fact that
they used the arms attributed to this Godfrey Downing by Le Neve.
The arms of Downing of Norfolk, as given in the Visitations of that county, “ Harl. MS.” No.
1552, fo. 219b, were, Barry of eight, argent and vert., a gryphon segreant or. : and the Crest, An
arm, embowed, habited in mail proper, tied round the wrist with a riband or, and holding in the
hand an arrow argent, barbed and flighted gold. These arms were used by the two Calibut
Downings, father and son, in 1613.
The precise relationship between the Norfolk and Suffolk Downings, however, has not yet
been ascertained, and has been the subject of much misconception and misstatement. The sixth
volume of the Fourth Series of the “ Massachusetts Historical Society’s Collections ” contains fifty-six
letters of Emmanuel Downing and four of Sir George Downing. The first volume of the Fifth Series
of the said “Collections” contains an additional letter of Emmanuel Downing, forty-two letters of his
second wife (Lucy Winthrop), one of his daughter Mary, two of his daughter Martha, one of his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joshua Downing, and three of her husband, one letter of the Rev. Joseph
Downing, brother of Emmanuel, and three of Charles Downing, grandson of Emmanuel.
Letters to or from Emmanuel Downing and his brother Joshua are also to be found in the
first volume of the “Life and Letters of John Winthrop;” while in the second of the volumes of
“ Historical Collections ” already cited, and partly in the ninth volume of the Third Series, are
nineteen letters of Francis Kirby (husband of Susanna Downing), which abound in references to his
wife’s family.
The pedigree of Downing of Ipswich and of Gamlingay, co. Cambridge, which will be found
a page or two further on, is based upon probate and parish records, and upon the very numerous
Downing letters just referred to, collated with Le Neve’s Downing pedigree in the College of Arms.

(\&) of the first.
This family is very antient. They were of Monkes Ely and of Nedging, but have long since
almost wome out. One of that family ( but of no very great ranke) lived in Bury St. Edmonds in
the time of K. Charles ; and William Munnings, clarke, is now rector of Preston, sonne of Humfrey
Munnings, clarke, minister of Brettenham, who was one of the most grave, learned and pious ministers of
this County. The most eminent place in Preston church is given to the coat of this family ; yet I knoive
none of any very great estate of that name in Suff: this yeave 1659.
So writes Candler in his list (“ Tanner MS.” Lib. Bodleian, 226) of “ The names and armes
of sundry of the gentlemen of chief est account in the County of Sufi’: as their coates were set vp
by Robert Reice Esq3 (a most accomplisht gentleman) in the church windowes of Preston in Sufi.,
about the latter end of the reigne of K. James or the beginning of the reigne of K. Charles.” Rice,
who spelt his name in various ways, — Reice, Ryce and Ryece — was a man of comfortable fortune,
who, having no children, took to studying the family antiquities of his neighbourhood. “The will
of man,” he writes, “hath found out the means to perpetuate the Reverend memory of his honor¬
able friends departed, by erecting unto them the lively counterfeiting resemblances, effigies, pyramids,
epitaphs and monuments, as doth plentifully appear in our churches.” Extending this idea, he began
to decorate the church of his own parish in heraldic fashion. He “ set up the Royall armes of
England in a faire table,” and then proceeded to depict the escutcheons of the gentry around him
on its walls and windows. These he has described with much quaintness in his “ Breviary of
Suffolk,” a charming account of the county which still exists amongst the Jermyn MSS. “ Mooning,”
for so he writes the word, bore ‘ ‘ Qrtly, 1 & 4, An inset escocheon or, betwn 8 Turkish Moons
incresents O J 2 <fc 3, 0> a crescent O on a pile in point, betw. an increscent and a decrescent G.”
Amongst the many shields on his tombstone in the chancel is Rice, quartering Strangman.
and impaling “Mouning, an escocheon betw. 9 increscents, 4, 2, 2, 1.”
Many of these shields were still in existence when Davy visited Preston in the earlier part
of the present century. Indeed Rice took some care that they should not fade too rapidly, for in
his will dated 11 Feb. 1638 [P.C.C. 36 Harvey] he bequeathed to “William Mills of Lanham, painter

and glazier, forty shillings, with all my boxes of Painting Colours, that he do from time to time
renew and amend, as need shall require, the decays of colours, words, letters, compartments ar.d
forms of those tables, writings and inscriptions, which he hath at any time made for me, as they
are fixed in the Parish church or chancell of Preston aforesaid.” It is clear Rice thought much of
his Munning descent. He makes especial mention of his Munning kinsmen in his will : — “ To my
cousin Mr William Munninge, late resident at Sir Henry Mildmayes in the County of Essex ” (who
also calls him “ cousin ” in his turn1). “ More, I give unto him my copyhold meadow in Monkes
Illigh, commonly called Skipp’s meadow, and now in the occupation of Katherine Munninge, widow ;
he to sell it and divide the proceeds between three of his sisters, Ann, Katherine and Ellen Mun-
niug, so as one half shall go to Anne Munninge, aged, lame and impotent, and the other half to
Katherine and Ellen. To Thomas Munning, sometime my seivant. To my cousins Rice Munning
and his sister the wife of Francis Lucas.” For many interesting lettes from Robert Rice to Gov.
John Winthrop, see Vol. i. of the latter’s “ Life and Letters,” and Yol. vi. of the Fourth Series of the
“ Massachusetts Historical Society’s Collections.”

fforth late Citizen and Clothworker of London your Orators vncle, your Orator being his next heire,
about twelve yeares last past was seized of the moytie of a ffarme howse and fforty five acres of
land called Birds in Boreham in the countie of Essex and of two messuages in Chelmesford and of
a messuage and fifty acres of land called Wheelors in Dunnyland in the said Countie of Essex. By
the persuation of John Bode of Babbington Priory in the countie of Kent, then gentleman now
Esquier, the said John fforth, without any peny or other consideration giuen, by deed indented sold
said premisses to the said John Bode and his heires for ever upon trust that the said Bode permit
Susan Golding, now deceased, grandmother to your Orator, whose heire also yor Orator is, to enjoy
said premisses during her life ; but if the said John fforth should tender sixpence to the said John
Bode in the presence of witnesses at the Royal Exchange in London this conveyance should be
void. John fforth had nothing in the world, as this assurance had stripped him of all his meanes.
Having tendered the sixpence some yeares after, but not according to the precise words, he dyed.
Bode now claymeth tytle to said lands.
Answer of John Bode. John fforth had no issue. He sold said laud out of respect to Susan
Goulding his naturall mother. She had given him great sornes of money and he desired to
recompenee her, but his merchandice beyond the seas had twice miscarried, both times by pirates.
Having little or nothing but what his said mother allowed him, hee the said John fforth did sell
said lands vnto this defendant, but Defendant never knew or heard of the Indenture until after
John fforth’s death, when Susan Gouldinge, being this Defendants aunte, did soiourne with Defendant
in the summer time and did acquaint Defendant with the Indenture. Said Indenture was taken in
Defendant’s name in trust for the said Susan. Defendant hath beene at great charge anil trouble
uppon severall occasions on her behalfe. She was then wife of Thomas Gouldinge the elder of
Poslingford in Suffolk Esquier, and the Bargaine was not taken in her owne name, Gouldinge being
so ill an husband that he and the said Susan then lined asunder. Because Defendant was sickly and

might die the said Susan desired that said lands might be conveyed to other trustees. So another
Indenture was made 3d Novr 1623 betweue this Defendant on the first parte, said Susan Gouldinge
and one Kichard Vernon the elder, citizen and mercer of London on the seconde parte, and Sir
Edward Boys the yonger of Norrington co. Kent Knight, John Wynthrope of Groton Esquier, George
Brooke of East Dunnylande co. Kent Esquier, and Thomas Aylett of Revenhall co. Essex gentleman
on the third parte. In this Indenture Susan granted Wheelers to the said Sir Edward Boys, John
Wynthrope, Ac. for the terme of one thousand years, they payeing vnto this Defendant yearely one
pepper corne and suffering the said Susan peaceably to hould Wheelers, and immediately from the
death of this Defendant the said Susan to permit the said Richard Vernon and ffrances his
wife (daughter of the said Susan Gouldinge and of Edward fforthe Esquier former husband of said
Susan) to have Wheelers with reversion to Edward Vernon, Richard Vernon the younger and John
Vernon, sonnes of the said Richard and ffrances his wife, and they having no issue, with remainder
to Henry Smith, Susan Smith and Katherine Smith, children of Robert Smith citizen and grocer of
London and Thomasine his wife, another daughter of the said Susan Goulding. The said Susan
further assured the moytie of the messuage and forty five acres called Birds to this Defendant, he
to paye one hundred pounds to Sybell fforthe her grandchilde yf Charles fforthe her brother be dead
without issue. After the miking of said Indenture Sybbil fforthe did marry Cornelius Holland of
the citty of Westminster Esquier, and before 1631 when the said Susan Gouldinge made her last
will, Thomas Gouldinge her husband bcinge then dead. Susan Goulding died on the 30th of
Marche in the tenth yeare of the raigne of his Matie that nowe is. Defendant takes it to be true
that Complaynant is next lieire vnto the said John fforthe and Susan Gouldinge. Defendant hath
in his hands and custodie the said parte of said tripartite Indenture and said Deed poll made by
this Defendant and a coppie of the will of Thomas Bode and a coppie of the Indenture of Bargain
and Sale and a coppy of the will of Edward fforthe gentleman grandfather of Complaynant and
husband of said Susan ; and Defendant takes it that said Edward fforthe hath devised said lands
vnto said Susan for her life and after her deceass to said John fforthe and his heires for ever.
He denietli that said John fforthe did at any time tender the some of sixe pence for the avoydinge
of said Indenture. Charles I., B. A A., FF. 18-49.

John Bode of Davington Pi-iory in the county of Kent gentleman, complaynant. George
Crimble of Stambridge in the county of Essex, gentleman, your Orators late grandfather, was seased
of divers messuages lands and tenements in Stambridge and elsewhere in Essex of the clear value
of three hundred pounds yearly. He made his will on the second daye of Aprill 1570, devising
these lands to George Crimble his sonne and for want of issue of said sonne to Grace Susan and
Mary Crimble his daughters for their lives, and then to Richard Crimble said grandfathers
brother and the heirs males of his body lawfully begotten ; for lack of such he left them to
William Crimble his cozen and the heirs males of his body ; failing these to the heirs of the
Crimbles being males for ever ; and in default of heirs males to the right heires of the said
George Crimble the testator. Grace Crimble was his daughter by his first wife, whoe brought

SUFFOLK MANORIAL FAMILIES.
a great porcon vnto the said George Crimble the grandfather, and George, Susan and Mary Crimble
were children by his second wife. The said Mary died shortlie after without issue, and Grace
married William Bode of Rotchford gentleman and by him had your Orator. Shortlie after
said grandfathers death the said George Crimble his sonne entered into his lands and long since
died without issue. By virtue of said grandfathers will his lands came unto the said Susan as
the sole survivor of his daughters, as Mary and Grace died in the lifetime of George the sonne.
So Suzan entered into the said lands. She lived until March 1634 ; before whose death the
said Richard Crymble and William Crymble died without issue : and all the heires males of the
Crymbles were dead without issue before the death of said Susan. By reason whereof one moyitie
did come vnto your Orator as son and heir of said Grace Crimble, and the other moyitie to the
right heirs of said Susan — Grace and Susan being the only surviving children of said George
Crimble the testator, and your Orator heire generall of said George Crimble. But soe it is that
one James ffoorth of Windsor in the Countie of Berkshire first prtending himself to be grandchild
and heire of said Susan and having gotten into his hands the original will & writings deeds &
evidences — on death of said Susan did enter in vpon the lands, &c., and take rents as sole heire of
George Crymble the testator. Now Grace yor Orators mother was sole heire of Crymble by his
1st wife, who brought a great porcon in marriage, and said Susan was daul of Crymble by his
second wife. Your Orator ought to have at least as great a share as the said James fforth.
fforthe also pretends William Crimble did suffer a Recovery : he hath cutt timber, Ac., &c.
Answer of James ffoorth Esquire 1635. George Crimble the testator was seised of messuages
Ac. in Much Stambridge, Prittlewell, Inworth, Rocheford, Rawrith, Wickford, and Chelmysford. Com¬
plainant deriveth only by heires ffenmle, knowing well that there be left heires males of the
Crymbles, this alone overthrowing his prtended title. After making his will, said George Crymble
the elder, George his sonne, Richard Crymble & the said Grace and Mary Crymble all dyed. Only
Susan (defendant’s mother) and William Crymble were left, Susan being survivor of the daughters
to whom the lands were left for life, and William Crymble the next in tayle. Tliomasine, the last
wife of said George Crymble the testator having for her dower the lands called ffynches in Much
Stambridge, and Susan aforesaid holding the residue for life only, the remainder being William
Crymble. William Crymble having the freehold vested in him by John fforth who had married the
said Thomasyn, and by Edward fforth who had married the said Susan, in Easter Term 26 Elizabeth
the said Edward fforth did Recover the premisses against him the said William Crymble by Comon
Recovery, by the name of ten messuages, eight gardens, eighty acres of land, ten acres of meadow,
sixty acres of pasture, four acres of wood and twenty acres of ffresh marsh — as appeareth in the
Records of said Court. By Indenture tripartite 6 May 26 Elizth said Wm Crymble of the 1st part,
Edward fforth A Susan his wife of the 2d and John fforth & Tliomasine his wife of the 3'1 part, the
uses of the Recovery are all declared, flinches to be to Tliomasine for life with reversion to Edward
fforth and Susan his wife and the longer liver of the two, and afterwards to the use of -
[document gone in this place]. Edward fforth so seised made his will ; he left premises in
Chclniesford to John fforth his youngest son A premises unbequeathed to Edvard ffoorth his son A
heir, who was father to this defendant, and dyed leaving this defendant lands as his son and heir.
Susan (Defendants grandmother) also dyed about two years last past and before her death made a
will. Defendant, who is .but lately come to the age of twenty one, knoweth not the contents but
will informe himself thereof. Chancery Proceedings, Charles I, B. & A., BB. 1C2-26.

Humbly complayninge, 15th April 1635, John Bode of Davington Priory in the Countie of
Kent, gentleman. John ffoorth, late Cittizen and C’.oathworker of London, was about twelve yeares
now last paste seised of the revercion uppon the death of Susan Gouldinge his mother (and your
Orators late aunte) of the moyity of a ffarme bowse called Byrds and forty five acres of land
thereto belonginge in Boreham in the countie of Essex. And the said John ffoorth, having noe issue
of his bodie, out of the loue wch liee bare vnto his said mother and to satisfie her for diuerse great
somes of money lent him, by deed inrolled did sell with other lands and tenements the said moyity
of lands vnto yor Orator and his heires ; yor Orator to suffer the said Susan, being naturall mother
of the said John ffoorth, peaceably to take the rents duringe her life. John ffoorth died ; and
shortly after, havinge a desire to gratifye yor Orator for divers curtesies, the said Susan Gouldinge
by Indenture tripartite, dated the the third daie of November 1623, between the said Susan and
your Orator, on the first parte, and one Richard Vernon the elder Cittizen and Mercer of London
on the second parte,’ and Sir Edward Boys the yonger of Nouington in the countie of Kent Knight,
John Wynthropp of Grotton in the countie of Suffolke Esquier, George Brooke of East Dunnyland
in the countie of Essex Esquier and Thomas Aylett of Reveuhall in the countie of Essex gentleman on
the third parte, hath appointed that your Orator should convey the said moyity unto the said Sir
Edward Boys, etc., to the only behoof of the said Susan, and after her decease to the said Sir
Edward Boys, &c., their heires and assignes for ever, they to suffer your Orator and his heirs to
enioye said lands. Vppon condition that yor Orator or his heires should pay at the Royal 1 Exchange
in London vnto Sybill fforth, grandchilde of the said Susan, the some of one hundred pounds
within twoe yeares next after the death of the said Susan. Aboute the fifteenth daie of July
1631 the said Susan Gouldinge did make her laste will and did giue vnto the said Sybill, by
the name of Sybill Holland wife of Cornelius Holland of the citty of Westminster Esquier, the
some of one hundred pounds out of the moneys which your Orator was to paye vnto the
executors of the said Susan. On the thirtieth of March in the tenth yeare of King James Susan
Gouldinge died. But now soe it is that James ffoorthe, whoe is or fftends to bee next heire vnto
the said Susan and allsoe vnto the said John ffoorthe, althought he hath heard the said Susan
Goulding his grandmother affirm e that John ffoorth her sonne did conveye those lands to yor
Orator, and knoweth, being her executor, that she hath confirmed them by said tripartite Indenture,
and hath by her will given lands called Wheelers to her own daughter and grandchildren, and that
he, James ffoorth, hath himself in a letter dated the third daie of December 1634, acknowledged the
said moyity of Byrds to be your Orators, and that Thomas Gouldinge the said Susan’s husband and
the said Susan herself acknowledged it by a Fine : Knowing also that your Orator went to councell
for the said Susan at his own costs on account of Thomas Gouldinge her husband his ill vsage of
her, intending to pfer a Bill against said Thomas Gouldinge into this IIonob,e Courte of Chancery
for her good maintenance : Yet the said James ffoorth out of his covetuous and contensious minde,
to get away Wheelers from his grandmothers grandchildren and the moyitie of Byrds from your
Orator, hath preferred a Bill against your Orator into this hont,le Courte full of false things, and
saith the said Indenture is obliterated. Your Orator is very weake and sickly, giuen over these
twoo yeares by Doctors of Physicke and stirreth not abroad. He prayeth therefore that Your good
Lordshipp would grant His Maties most gracious writt of subpoena, etc., <tc., <tc.
The aunsweare of James fforth gent. 4th May 1635. He much wondreth to see Complaynant,
a neere kinsemen of this defendant, exhibit soe vnnecessary a Bill against this defendant taxing him

that hee hath sued and vexed said Compb vpon an advantage of the sickness and paine and old
age of said Complaynant. Pick and painefull and old and bedred as hee the said Comp1 is or
maketh himselfe to bee, hee the said Comph not many months since had vigor and health and heate
inoxigh to put this defend1 to A Trump and a hazard for all or the most part of his inheritance :
- was able to write lettars vpon lettars and neuer would bee att peace with this defendant
being very young and rawe in all worldly affayres and lately come to his full age of one and
twentie yeares. The said Susan Goulding in the tyme of her last sicknes much bewayled an^
repented the wrongs wch she had offered to this defendant in his Birth right. Complaynant need
not bee so peremptory in the supporting of a poore and weake title against a right heire who
hath beene most iniuriously dealt w*hall. His deceased grandmother kept in her owne hands
dureing all her life both the said {/tended originall deed of Bargaine and Sale and alsoe the
tripartite Indenture. Defendant hopeth that thesse things may be solemnly examined and deliberately
heard and that this defendants’ iust right may not be slighted.

Who was Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Powell of Wales, and wife of William Forth of
Hadleigh 1 A prolonged and most careful search amongst the wills at Somerset House and other
Probate Courts; the Fines, Inquisitions, Close Rolls, Patent Rolls, Ac., Ac., at the Record Office; and
the Pedigrees and Genealogical Collections at the Heralds’ College and elsewhere, has failed to elicit a
single fact in answer to this question. As Elizabeth Powell she witnessed the will of her future hus¬
band’s father in 1510. As Elizabeth Forth she became the mother of an heir in 1541. We should
have been altogether without clue to her identity had not three of her sons, or their immediate
descendants, assumed the very remarkable quarterings of Powell of Whitchurch in Glamorganshire.
The eldest, Robert Forth, caused them to be worked into the great gateway of Butley Abbey, where
Davy, the Suffolk Antiquary, saw and noted them in 1810. They embellish the brass of William
Forth, the third son, who died at Hadleigh in 1599. And John Forth, the youngest son, seems to
have assisted, in 1611, a year or two before his death, in the preparation of the “Emblazoned
Pedigree ” of Forth and Winthrop, in which the quarterings of Powell, Brokenspeare, Gwaringde, Morley
and Vaughan are marshalled in all their splendour. These quarterings were allowed to Philip
Forth, her grandson, at the Suffolk Visitation of 1612. This being the case, we give pedigrees of
the one and only family of Powell to whom such quarterings could possibly have belonged : and, as
Welsh evidences are scarce, excerpts of two documents which help to establish the date of the Appowell
who married the heiress of Vaughan of Methvr — the conjectural grandfather of Elizabeth Forth.

The Bourne Pedigree in the Visitations of Somersetshire, 1565 — 1623, Ilarl. MS. 1445, describes Sir John as one
of the principal Secretaries of State to Queen Mary. In his will, P.C.C. 29 Pyekeryng, dated 18 May 1563, he leaves
two parts of his Manor of Batenhall, co. Worcester, to Dorothy his wife, and the residue to Anthony his son and
heir. He also makes provision for the tuition and government of his children during their minority. This will was
proved 1 July 1575, by Dame Dorothy his relict, and later on Administration was granted to Anthony Bourne the
son, 21 July 1576, his mother having died. From the letters of this Anthony, Add. MS. 23, 212, circa 1577, we
learn that he and Thomas Powell had been friends together at Oxford, he having on one occasion rescued the latter
from the police, and on another entrusted him with money for the payment of his debts.
The earlier ancestry of Powell of Whitchurch is given us, with more or less exactness, in the pedigree drawn up
by the order of King Edward the Fourth, when he created William Herbert Earl of Pembroke in 1460. (See Coxe’s
“Tour in Monmouthshire,” pp, 141, 421, and the articles on the Herberts in BurkeV “ Extinct Peerages.”) For further
information respecting the Whitchurch family the reader is referred to the “ Genealogies of Morgan and Glamorgan,” by
George Thomas Clark, pp. 264, 265, and to the Wakeman MS., an admirable compilation, now or lately' in the custody
of the Society of Antiquaries.

Clopton of jWelforP.
^rnt0rtal Searings.
The Arms of Clopton, Sable a bend argent between two cotices dancettee Or, appear upon
the seals attached to their deeds and charters from the middle of the fourteenth century downwards.
Heading the Clopton pedigrees in Harl. MS. 1103, a contemporary copy of the original Visitation
of Suffolk by William Harvey, Clarencieux King of Arms in 1561, are the following shields: —
Clopton of Kentwell Hall in Long Melford. — Quarterly of six. 1. Clopton; as above.
2, Mylde : Argent, a lion rampant Sable, over all a fess counter-compony or and azure. 3, Francis :
Gules, a saltire between four crosses patee or. 4, Iioydon ; Chequy argent and gules a cross azure.
5, Knevitt : Argent, a bend within a bordure engrailed sable. 6, Argent, three lions rampant gules.
This quartering which is assigned to Kyrkham in Harl. MS. 1560, and to Belhouse by Dr. Howard, is
common to both families. The Crest is a wolfs head, per pale or and azure, and the Motto,
“ Dor en avant.”
Clopton of Liston. — Quarterly of four. 1, Clopton. 2. Mylde. 3, Francis. 4, Saye ; Per pale,
azure and gules, three chevrons argent voided and counter-changed of the field, over all a crescent
on a mullet for difference.
Clopton of Sudbury. — Quarterly of six, as in Clopton of Kentwell, impaling Peacock, Gules, on
a fess argent, between three plates, each charged with a peacock’s head erased azure, as many mascles
sable ; over all a mullet for difference.
Harl. MS. 1820, has Clopton of Kentwell, Quarterly of six, as before, impaling Baruardiston ;
Azure, a fess dancettee ermine, between six cross crosslets argent.
Harl. MS. 1560, fo. 5, has Quarterly of eleven. 1, Clopton. 2, Mylde. 3, Francis.
4, Knevett. 5, Kirkham. 6, Bozun of Lincolnshire ; Argent, three bird-bolts gules. 7, Uffleete ;
Argent, on a fess azure three fleurs de lis or. 8, Deane ; Sable, two bars argent within a bordure
gules. 9, Paynell ; Gules, two chevrons, within a bordure argent. 10, Argent, semee of fleurs de
lis, a lion rampant sable. 11, Sable, three cinquefoils, all within a bordure argent. The whole
being, apparently, the achievement of Mary Clopton, afterwards the wife of Sir William Cordell.
The Shield of Clopton, quarterly of twenty, from Sir William Clopton’s monument in Melford
Church, is pictured and described in Dr. Howard’s edition of Harvey’s Visitation of Suffolk.
CLOPTON OF MELFORD.
137
The wolf’s head, as Clopton’s Crest, appears on the seal attached to a charter of Sir William
Clopton of the third year of Henry the fourth, 1402. It is occasionally represented, as on the
Clopton monument at Lyston, issuing from a ducal coronet.
A great number of Clopton wills, deeds, pedigrees, &c., have been printed in Dr. Howard’s
edition of “ Harvey’s Visitation of Suffolk,” vol. i, pp. 20 — 136. Some additional evidences
from the De Banco Rolls and other sources are given below.

Sir Simon D’Ewes, who married the heiress of the Cloptous of Kentwell, made elaborate
collections relating to their history, which will be found amongst the Harleian Charters and MSS.
in the British Museum. He deals much with the same family in his “Autobiography,” a
Bowdlerised edition of which was printed in two volumes in 1845.

This Inquisition, which so concisely records the descent of Sir William Tyndal from Lord
Scales, is one of the four which detail the possessions of Anthony Woodville, Earl Rivers, in
Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. By some mediaeval mistake these Escheats
were placed with those of the first year of Henry VII. Their entry in the Calendar, “ Escaet.
Hen. VII,” stands thus “ Antonij nup Comit Ryvers : 38 Norff. : Suff. 39 : 37 Hertf. : Cantebr. 36.
These offio are fyled in anno primo and were fownde in anno scdo.”

Hatnsborougl).
The family of Rainsborougli or Rainborough, often spelled Rainborow, so prominently associated
with the naval service of the Stuart period and with the army of the Commonwealth, is believed to
have originated in Suffolk, though proof is wanting. The distinguished naval commander William
Rainsborough, whose successful expedition against Salee is a matter of history, was M.P. for the
Suffolk sea-port of Aldborough in 1640, and his father, Thomas Rainborow of East Greenwich, is.
supposed to have been grandson to the Thomas Raynburghe of Ipswich, who made his will in 1544.
There was active communication between these two ports in Tudor days, and the name, an unusual
one, disappeared from the one place a little before it is found in the records of the other. For
much valuable information relative to this family and the correction of various errors which had
found their way into print, see the “New England Genealogical Register,” Vol. xl, pp. 158 — 171.

of the “ Martha Rainsborough ” of the heraldic MS.

but secretly by her letters — which letters orator has sytlience loste, [being] imbeseled by one
William Celye, brother to the said Maryon. Orator cannot compell Maryon to pforme her pmyse

It would now seem that Maryon Burde alias Bryde of Ipswich and Richard Byrde, her
husband, were identical with the “ Richarde Burde of Ipswich and my sister his wief,” who are
referred to in the will cf the second Adam Winthrop (See page 13). Prolonged research has failed
to discover any other Richard Burde of that place and period. It has been assumed that Richard
Burde’s wife was the own sister of Adam Winthrop, but the evidence of the wills of John Cely
of Bury St, Edmunds, 1557, and of Alice Cely, his widow, 1558, discovered since the issue of
the earlier pages of this volume, creates a presumption that she was really the step-sister of Alice
Henny or Hunne, Adam Winthrop’s first wife, who died young in 1538. Alice Cely, previously
wife of - Hunne, died in 1558, leaving three Hunne children then surviving and a stepdaughter,
Maryon Cely, wife of Richard Byrde alias Bryde of Ipswich, clearly the defendant in “Hunne
contra Burd.” She also left a son, William Cely, who is believed to be the William Cely who
married Adam Winthrop’s daughter, Mary. For the will of Richard Byrde and further particulars
of the families of Hunne and Cely see hereafter, pp. 221-223 (Goodwin of Bull’s Hall).

John Whittingham and Joshua Winthrop, his brother in law, had married two sisters,
daughters of Vincent Norrington, Citizen and Grocer of London, whose nuncupative will, dated on
or about the second of January 1597, was proved on the nineteenth of the same month by Joan
Norrington, his relict. [P.C.C. 5 Lewin.] “ Sicke in body and in danger of death he did giue
all that euer he had unto Joane his loueing wife, sayinge that if he had five thousand pounds
more he wold not giue anie from her.” On the 12th of November 1617, a commission was
issued to Sarah Whittingham, one of the sisters referred to, for the final administration of her
father’s estate. It was Mary, the other sister, who married Joshua Winthrop, sometime of London,
and after of Bandon in Ireland, whose kindred and connections will be found in the pedigree of
Winthrop of Groton, at page 27.

J&oltoero of
Armorial Hearings.
At the Visitation of Suffolk in 1612, by Raven, Camden’s deputy, the Arms allowed to
“John Boldero of Berry, descended from William Boldero of Fornham Martin,” were — “Per pale, or
and azure, a saltire counterchanged, with a crescent for difference.” The Crest of “ Bolderoe per
Cooke, Cla: 6 of September 1576, 18 of Eliz.,” as tricked by Raven in his note book, Harl.
MS. 1820, fo. 45b, was “ a greyhound current gules, collared or.” At fo. 2, is a drawing of the
Arms of “ Boldero and his wife Tilliote,” viz., Boldero, with the crescent, impaling “ Argent, a lion
rampant gules, over all a bend azure.” The original shield, without the crescent, and the crest of
1576, will be found upon Boldero monuments at Ixworth, and on the brass of George Boldero in St.
Mary’s Church, Bury St. Edmunds. They are still used by his descendants ; some of whom, however,
about the close of the eighteenth century, changed the crest to a greyhound sejant. The escutcheon
on the monument to Dr. Edmund Boldero, in Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge, who was the
seventh son of “John Boldero of Berry,” is charged, as might have been expected, with the
crescent allowed to his father.
Another Coat of Arms recorded in the Heralds’ College, but not in the Visitation of 1612,
was granted to Francis Boldero of Bury St. Edmunds, who died in 1579, “ Per pale, argent and
azure, a saltire counterchanged; on a chief of the first three griffins’ heads erased of the last.”
Harl. MS. 1820, gives the colours of this Shield as or and azure, together, with a special Crest,
“ A lion’s gamb erased or, grasping a saltire azure.”
Drawings of the Arms and Crest of “John Boldero,” above-mentioned, will be found in
Harl. MS. 1449, fo. 71b, and in Add. MS. 5524, fo. 18b.

Armorial fterittgs.
The Arms of Garneys of Kenton, as tricked in Marl. MS. 1560, are quarterly of twelve : —
1. Garneys. — Argent, a chevron engrailed, Azure, between three escallops, Sable.
2. Ramsey. — Gules, three rams’ heads cabosed, Argent.
3. Wellysham. — Sable, two bars, Or, in chief three cinquefoils of the Second.
4. Kenton. — Sable, a chevron between three cinquefoils, Or.
5. Francis. — Gules, a chevron engrailed, Ermine, between three “ facons ” rising, Argent,
beaked and membred, Or.
6. Deneston. — Azure, two lions passant guardant, Or.
7. Wanton. — Argent, on a chevron, Sable, a cross-crosslet of the field.
8. Suliard. — Argent, a chevron, Gules, between three pheons, Sable.
9. Hungate. — Gules, a chevron between three “houds seant,” Argent.
10. Bacon. — Azure, three boars passant, Or.
11. Antingham. — Sable, a bend, Argent.
12. Baynard. — Sable, a fesse between two chevrons, Or.
With this tricking, the drawings of the Garneys shield, in Marl. MS. 1820, are in
substantial agreement, but Wanton’s cross-crosslet is fitchee and Hungate’s chevron is engrailed.
The crest is a cubit arm erased, grasping a scimitar embrued, all proper. In Marl. MS.
1820, fo. 51b, the scimitar is liilted, Or. The latter MS. (fo. 43,) gives a second crest for
Garneys, viz : — A mermaid, Argent, crined and finned, Or, holding a comb of the second in her
dexter hand .
The following note appended to the tricking in Hall. MS. 1560, explains some of the
quarterings.
Thomas Bacon was the sonn and heire of John Bacon of Baconsthorpe in Norff. esqr and
of Margerett his wife, daughter and heire of Bob. Baynard of Speccishall in Suff, esqr, wch John
Bacon was the sonn and heire of Roger sonn and heire of S’’ Thomas Bacon and AUice his ivife
daughter and heire Sr Barthelmew Antingham Knt.
Marl. MS. 1820, has also an achievement for “ John Garneys of Kenton,” evidently
meaning John Garneys of Mendlesham, whose mother was the heiress of Toppesfield, viz. Quarterly
of nine, 1 to 7 as before. 8. Toppesfield, Gules, on a chevron, Ermine, three martlets, Sable ;
and 9. Church, Sable, on a fesse between three fleurs-de-lys, Argent, as many escallops, Gules.
Ample pedigrees of Garneys were recorded in the Suffolk Visitations, in 1561, 1612 and
1664. The Davy MSS. give fifty-eight closely written pages of Garneys’ wills, escheats, deeds and
monumental inscriptions, contributed for the most part by the late Thomas Bond, Esq., of Tyneham,
Wareham, a descendant of the family.

ancestor. The Crest is a griffin sejant with wings expanded or, legged and beaked sable, guttee de
poix. The grant itself has been lost, but it was confirmed at the Suffolk Visitation of 1612, and
is depicted on the margin of the original pedigree in the College of Arms. Hark MS. 1820, the
corresponding volume at the British Museum, has a similar shield at fo. 2, with the words “ Gooding
per Cooke, 1596,” whilst the Crest is given at fo. 44b.
In the Suffolk Visitation of 1664, Hark MS. 1085, Richard Gooding of Wherstead has the
same escutcheon, also with a crescent, he being the descendant of another second son. It is assigned,
provisionally, to George Gooding of Debach and Robert Gooding of Charsfield, whose ancestors came
from Woodbridge and probably from Blaxhall, with a note implying that the matter would be
referred to Loudon for enquiry. Goodwin of Torrington, co. Devon, who came from Suffolk, bore
the like ensigns with a ring on the fess for difference.
In the earlier evidences of this family the name is written “ Gooding.” In the later it is
often changed to “Goodwin.” In the will of Margaret Gooding of Rendlesham, 1596, it is
‘‘Goodwin” in the transcript and “Gooding” in the margin. The Shield granted to Gooding of
Freston in 1596 is a modification of those ascribed to the Earl of Kent and other ancient Godwins.
Many of these are pictured in the volume known as E.D.N. 56, in the College of Arms. Amongst
them is the Coat of “ Goodwin his daughter wife to K. Edw: Confes.,” Gules, between two bars Or,
six lions’ heads, three two and one.

Although not always accurate, this pedigree, written by a neighbour in the lifetime of many of the parties it names, is
contemporary evidence of no mean value. It will be noticed that it gives the Goodwins of Rendham and Marlesford, one of
whom termed Goodwin of Martlesham Hall his cousin, a common ancestry with the rest.

By liis Inquisition post mortem, 7 James, I. 77, taken at Ipswich, George Gooding was found to have been seized of a
messuage and divers lands in Kirkton, held of Anne, the Queen Consort of James the First, as of her manor of W altou cum
Trimley and Felixstowe Priory, and also of lauds in Clopton held of Sir John Rouse, Knt., as of his Manor of Kingshall in
Clopton. He died at Grundisburgh 14 January, 6 James ; George Gooding, his son and heir, being twenty years of age.
Most of the family pictures and other heirlooms of the Goodwins of Martlesham, Ac. (including a coat of arms beautifulh
worked in silk by Mary Edgar wife of John Goodwin of Hasketon), are now in the possession of Mrs. Doughty of Lowestoft, widow
of Admiral Fredk. Proby Doughty, and eldest daughter of the Rev. Richard Aldous Arnold, Rector of Ellough, herself a descendant
of the Goodwin family.

Amongst the insignia of the various families of Goodwin depicted in the volume known as
E.D.N., 56, in the College of Arms, is a somewhat remarkable shield, which may be described as
Argent, a pale gules ; in chief and in base a plate between two fleurs de lys, and in fess a delu¬
de lys between two plates, all counterchanged. The accompanying Crest is “a mallard tree vert ;
on either side a cony argent eating the leaves thereof. It is not said to what Goodwins these
arms were assigned, and no record of the grant has been officially preserved by the heralds. A
similar reticence is observed by Add. MS. 26,702, in the British Museum, which seems to be a copy
of E.D.N. 56. But in Harleian MS. 1422, an old and faded collection of “Grants by Divers Kings
of Arms tricked by John Gough,” this shield and crest are said to have been given to “ Wilim
Goodwin of Booking in com Essex p Wrioth. G. 36. H. 8.” A note has been appended, apparently
in another hand, “ ffile p Sr Xpof Barkl G.,” together with an indication that the leaves which
the rabbits are eating are intended for “ mallows.”
There were many Goodwins of Booking in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but their
exact relationship has never been determined. They made but few wills and the earlier Booking
registers and manor books are alike missing. It is not improbable that the Goodwins of Hartford
in Connecticut come of the same stock. Many valuable evidences connected with the Booking
Goodwins, including ample abstracts of the wills of Sir Thomas Pope, 1556, and Anne Rlunt, 1594,
are printed in the “ Report on English Investigations,” contributed by Mr. Henry F. Waters to the
history of this family.1 The name is usually written “Goodwin,” but John Peppys, uncle of
William Goodwin of Bermondsey, in making his will in 1551, refers to his “sister Goodinge” and
her children, and describes his nephew as William Godinge als Goodwyn.

The will of William Goodwin, as entered in the Prerogative Court (P.C.C. 1G More) differs
somewhat in its wording from that recorded in the Inquisition. “ Sicke in bodye and abyding
the marcie of God to take me forthe of this myserable world when his will shalbe, but yet pyfte
and whole of memory, I make and ordeyne this my last will. I bequeath all my landes and
tenements, gooddes and cattalle to my wife and to my children together during their nonage and
minoritie for and to theducacyon of and bringing vp of them, my said children, in vertue and
learnynge,” Ac. It was proved, the Archiepiscopal See being vacant, by the oath of John Goodman,
the executrix’s attorney 11 Dec. 1554.

Thomas Goodwin was but eight years old when his father died, and much of his inheritance
seems to have been made away with by John Felton, his mother’s second husband. Goodwin c. Felton
Chanc. Proc., Series II, 74, 42. Becoming embarrassed in his circumstances he sold his lands in
Felsted to John Fitche, and a little later four messuages, four gardens, sixteen acres of arable land
and four acres of woodland in Booking to one Francis Archer. Fine , Easter, 12 Eliz. The
Indenture between Thomas Goodwin and John Fitche is the last known document which mentions
him as an inhabitant of Booking. By an interesting coincidence it would appear that a John
Goodwin and a Richard Fitche were churchwardens there in 1602. Backing, Inhabitants of, c.

left his Manor of Bulls Hall in Bedfield and other lands to Sir Humphrey Wingfield, Sir Thomas

Patent or Grant of the Stewardship of the Manors of Lavenham in Suffolk and Castle Camps and
Foulmer in Cambridgeshire conferred upon him in the 36th and 37th years of Queen Elizabeth by
Thomas Skynner, sometime Lord Mayor of London. His identity with Christopher Goodwin, the

Thomas Spelman of Norwich, geut., married Cecily, daughter and heir of . . . Reedham of Ipswich, gent., widow

Alice and Cicely Reedham, the daughters and coheirs of . . . Reedham of Ipswich, were of tender years in
1561, Thomas Flatman being their guardian. They were seized of lands and tenements in Ipswich and Bramford,
together with a messuage and two hundred acres in Toppesfield and Finchingfield, co. Essex, the evidences of which
had come into the hands of Elizabeth Layer, widow. Redham c. Layer, Chancery Proceedings, Series II, 155, 1.
#oothotn of Cast J&crgljolt.
Ralph Goodwin, who purchased an estate at North Burlingham in Norfolk, in 1491, would
seem to be the common ancestor of the Goodwins of North Burlingham and of East Bergholt.
The manor called Goodwin’s in the former place had passed from the name before the 35th year of
Henry VIII. Blomefield’s Norfolk, VII, 22^. Margaret, eldest daughter of Richard Goodwin of
North Burlingham, married there in 1559 to James Keppinge of Freetliorpe, was one of the next-of-
kin who contested the will of John Goodwin of East Bergholt in 1 GO 1 . Decree, P.C.C. J-5 Woodhall.
Full abstracts or verbatim copies of the wills of Ralph Goodwin of North Burlingham, 1518, John
Goodwin of East Bergholt, 1600, Daniel Goodwin of Yoxford, 1625, and John Goodwin of East
Bergholt, 1638, with other valuable evidences bearing on the history of the family, are given in
“ The Goodwins of Hartford, Connecticut,” pp. 46-56. The complicated relationships of John
Goodwin, who bequeathed fifty pounds to the plantation of New England, are best explained perhaps
by the Chancery Proceedings in Woodgate c. Goodwin, Eliz., B & A, Woodgate c. Goodwin, Jas I,
P> A A, and Chaplin c. Woodgate, Mitford V, lxxvi, 35, which will probably appear amongst the
“ Genealogical Gleanings in England,” contributed by Mr. Henry F. Waters to the “ New Eugland

The paternity of William Goodwin, the New England emigrant of 1632, has not, as yet,
been definitely ascertained, but it is probable that he came from Braintree or Booking, which
together form one long street in the county of Essex. He was one of the so-called “ Braintree
Company,” which Mr. Hooker followed to the western world. Men from Braintree were amongst
his fellow voyagers. His brother, Ozias Goodwin, had married a Braintree woman. A William
Goodwin of Booking, who may well have been himself, was son-in-law, in 1617, to Robert
White of Messingfu Indeed, Goodwins in some number had lived in Booking for generations, and
had continued to reside there until his day. There is a remarkable coincidence, too, connected
with the Christian name of his brother — Ozias. Its use is singularly rare ; but it seems to have
been affected, so far as Suffolk and Essex arc concerned, by people who had some kind of
connection with Booking. In 1618, Ozias Adams was owner of a messuage called Potter’s in
Booking which had descended to him from his father.1 In 1663, there died at Booking a Richard
Merrells, apparently of the same stock as Ozias Merrells, the father, and Ozias Merrells, the son,
of the Sudbury family of that name, whilst the names of Ozias Paske, John Adams and Richard
Merrells occur in significant juxtaposition as kinsmen and devisees of Thomas Hammond of
Hawkedon in 1670. A township, some of whose inhabitants were surnamed Goodwin, and others
christened Ozias, is not unlikely, one would think, to have produced the Ozias Goodwin whose
descendants helped to people Connecticut.

Wheras aunciently from the beginninge the valiaunt and vertuous actes of worthie persons have been

the which the chefest and most vsuall hath ben the bearinge of signes in shildes called Armes
which are euident demonstracions of prowes and valoir diversly distributed accordinge to the qualities
and desertes of the persons order as it was most prudently deuised in the beginninge to st-irre and
kindell the hartes of men to the imitacion of vertuc and noblenes. Euen so hath the same ben
and yet is continually obserued to the ende that such as liaue don comendable sendee to their
Prynce or Contry either in warre or peace maye bothc receaue due honor in their lines & also
deriue the same successively to their posteritie after them. And beinge required of John le Talor
of London Esquier to make searche in the regesters and recordes of my Office for the auncient
Armes belonginge to that name and familie whereof he is descended, wheruppon I have at his
request made searche accordingly so that findingc the true and perfect descent I coulde not without
his great preiudice assigne vnto him any other than those whiche are to him descended from his
anneestors. That is to saye quarterly, in the firstc for Talor sables a lion passant siluer, in the
seconde for Beniclere golde a lion rampant regardant gules a coller siluer, in the thirde for Sely siluer
a cheueron gules betwen thre egles displaied sables, the laste as the firste. And for that I finde
no Creaste vnto the same, as commonly to all auncient Armes there belongeth none, I haue giueu
vnto him by waye of encrease for his Creaste or Coguoisance vppon his healme on a wreath siluer and
sables an Ownce standinge in proper cooler manteled gules dowbled siluer as more plainly apperith
depicted in this margent. The whiche Armes and Creaste and euery parte and parcell thereof I the

Sir Thomas Freke of Ewern Courtney, son of Robert Freke, Esq., one of the Tellers of the
Exchequer in the reigns of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, was a person of considerable note
in the county of Dorset. The parish church of Ewern Courtney (a place more generally known
as Shroton) was rebuilt by him in 1614. It is a typical specimen of the church architecture of
the period. The burial place of the Frekes is at the higher end of the north aisle and is
enclosed by wooden screens curiously carved with corbel heads and pinnacles and scroll work, the
cornice of one of which supports the Arms of Taylor of Lidgate. Within, a stately monument
commemorates Sir Thomas, who died in 1633, and Dame Elizabeth. A long and eloquent
inscription records their virtues. On their escutcheon — Freke, Sable two bars Or, in chief two
mullets of the same, impales Taylor quartering Beniclcre and Cely. The Crest is a bull’s head
eouped Sable, horned Or. The matches of their numerous children are indicated by other shields.
There is a full pedigree of the Frekes in Hutchins’ “History of Dorset,” vol. iv. From Ralph
Freke, a younger son of Sir Thomas, descend the Hussey-Frekes of Hannington in Wiltshire. It
was William Freke, brother of Sir Thomas, who became the ancestor of the Frekes, Baronets of
West Bilncy in Norfolk, and of the Evans-Frekes, Barons Carbury.

The above differs in many respects from the pedigree given by Gage in his “History of Thingoe,” which is founded upon
the information of Sir Francis Thomas Hammond. Sir Thomas bore as Arms, Quarterly 1st, Argent, on a chevron Sable between three
ogresses, each charged with a martlet of the field, three escallops Or, all within a bordure engrailed Vert ; for Hammond (the will of
his ancestor, in 1638, having been sealed with a chevron between three ogresses) : 2d, Bendy Or and Azure, for Asty ; 3d, Checquy
Or and Gules, a canton Ermine, for Rayne : and 4th, Argent, on a chevron Sable, threee crosses patee Or, for Benson. Crest.
An eagle Sable, bsuant out of a ducal crown Or, infiled with a rose proper. It is difficult to reconcile these quarterings, and
indeed Gage’s pedigree itself, with the data afforded by the wills, deeds, licenses, Ac., upon which the present genealogy is based.

The Hammonds of Ipswich were a race of hardy sea captains and themselves in great part
owners of the ships they sailed in and the cargoes they carried. They held the Manor of Newton
Hall in Swilland for several generations. Edward Hammond, who died a little after the Restoration,
is mentioned with approval by Matthias Candler, the genealogical Vicar of Coddenham. “ Henry
Bloomfield,” he says, “ one of the Chiefe Constables of the Hu of Thredling,” married to his
second wife, “ Thomasin daughter of Thomas Coale of Ipswich, the relict of W“ Peche a Mr of
a ship neere the old Barre gates in Ipswich. She had a daughter m. to Edward Hamont
Mr of a ship in Ipswich, a pins man.” Harl. MS. 6071, p. 543. An armorial tombstone in
the churchyard of St. Clement bears the inscription, “ The Burying place of Captain Benjamin
Hamond and Captain John Hammond, sons of Edward Hamond in this parish.” Then follow
names and dates. The Shield, Party per pale, displays a quatrefoil between three demi-lions
passant guardant ; and the Crest above, on helmet and torse, is a wolf’s head erased.

as 1597, to leave him when she died. ( Glover c. Hammond, Chas. I, B and A, GG. 18, 33.)
She was at that time the widow of John Glover, his grandfather. By Fine in Easter Term, 1598,
John Father, her next husband, probably by way of marriage settlement, conveyed his Manor of
Otleys in UfFord to William Glover, her stepson ( Suffolk Fines, Pasch., 40 Eliz.), and this sale
was confirmed by a similar Fine in 1601 ( Suffolk Fines, Trinity Term, 43 Eliz.) In 1612, as
stated in the will, he finally settled it upon Margaret Groom, his wife’s niece, who seems,
judging from her uncle Wyberd’s testamentary allusions (see p. 253), her many marriages, and
John Father’s liberal deed of gift, to have been a very attractive woman. He made will as John
Father of Pettistree, yeoman, on the 24th August, 1625, bequeathing his estates in Woodbridge,
UfFord and Bromeswell to Edward Hammond, his wife’s nephew, absolutely. Probate was made
15 Sept. 1625, in the Registry of the Archdeaconry of SufFolk.

We are told in Add. MS. 4969, which consists for the most part of drawings of Arms in
Suffolk and Norfolk Churches by William Harvey, Clarencieux, that there was in Ufford Church
a monumental inscription to Henry Groome of Ufford, Gent., who married Margaret, daughter of
Matthew Hammond of St. Edmundsbury, Gent., and died on the 3rd of April, 1634. The note
occurs upon fo. 96, an inserted leaf, and the inscription itself has long since disappeared.

(gurtion of assmgtm
^rtnorml Searings.
Tlie Arms of Gurdon, as confirmed and allowed at the Suffolk Visitation of 1612, were Sable,
three leopards’ faces jess ant fleurs de lys Or, and the Crest, On a wreath Or and Sable, a goat
Argent, climbing a rock or mount proper, on the top of which grow three sprigs Vert, flowered
proper, apparently of the wild rose. The official drawing which accompanies the pedigree represents
Gurdon as quartering Sexton, Argent, three sinister wings Gules, and impaling Brampton, Quarterly,
1 and 4, Gules, a fess Argent, in chief three plates, for Brampton ; 2, Chequy Or and Gules, a
bend Ermine, for Basingham ; and 3, Argent, three piles wavy converging in point, over all a fess
Argent, apparently for Barton. This was, clearly, the authorised atchievement of John Gurdon, then
Lord of Assington, whose mother was coheir of Sexton, and whose wife the daughter of Brampton
of Letton in Norfolk.
The heraldic MSS. at the British Museum and elsewhere, although of no real authority, give
some interesting variations of these authorised Arms and Quarterings of Gurdon. We are told in
the old family pedigree at Letton that the leopards’ faces were originally argent, but that Robert,
the younger son of Sir Adam Gurdon, changed them to gold to be distinguished from the elder
branch, then in Wiltshire. The Arms, as tricked in Harl. MS. 1560, the best collection of Suffolk
Visitation Pedigrees to be found out of the Heralds’ College, are surmounted by two crests which
have, at one time or another, been adopted by the family. The one, which appears [upon the older
monuments at Assington, is a leopard’s face, party per pale Argent and Sable, between two wings
addorsed counterchanged. The other is the Goat Argent, horned Or, climbing a rock proper, with
a sprig issuing from the top Vert. An atchievement follows which is identical with that of Brampton
Gurdon of Letton in the Norfolk Visitation of 1664. Harl. MS. 1085. Beneath the second crest,
that with the goat, rock and twig, is Quarterly of Eight : —

the Gurdons of Assington before their marriage with the heiress of Brampton.

The monuments at Assington are numerous and interesting, and one especially, of coloured
marbles, erected in 1648, is covered with armorial insignia. The Quarterly of Eight, already
described, appears above the effigy of Brampton Gurdon. The shield above that of his wife,
Elizabeth Barrett, as described in the Davy MSS., is Quarterly of nineteen: 1, Barrett; 2, Belhouse ;
3, Braytoft ; 4, Dyneley ; 5, Fitzherbert ; 6, Milo, Earl of Hereford ; 7, De Forte ; 8, Cheuduitt ;
9, Foscott ; 10, Marney ; 11, Bruyn ; 12, Comyn ; 13, Lytton ; 14, Booth: 15, Oake ; 16,
Weyland ; 17, Godmanston ; 18, Cavalere ; 19, Barrett, as before. The Crest, differing from those
depicted in the MSS., is Out of a ducal coronet Or, two wings erect addorsed Argent. A pencil
drawing of this exceptional device is given in Harl. MS. 1560.
Other coats have since been added. The Norfolk Gordons for some time quartered the
Arms cf Dillingham, whose heiress brought considerable estates to the family ; but in the present
day they simply use Brampton quarterly with their own shield, in order to distinguish their
branch from the Gurdons of Suffolk. The escutcheon on the monument of Nathaniel Gurdon,
S.T.P , of Assington, who died in 1696, has thirty quarterings, many of which are now so much
defaced as to be almost unrecognisable.

Humbly complayning sheweth your daily Orator George Borough of Pettagh in the County
of Suffolk, clerke, that many yeares since Sr Thoms Jermy, late of Brightwell, being seised of
the Mannor and advowson of Gosbecke, then full of oue Andrew Kinwellmarsh, clerke, who is
yet living, did on the xxth September ixth James confirme the next presentation vnto Thoms
Mathew of Brightwell, clarke, who granted the first avoydance to Henry Bowcer of Stansteed in
the County aforesaid, clerke. After the graunting of said advowsion Sr Thoms Jermy sold the
Mannor vnto Wittm Styles of Gosbeck gent! who dwelt wthin the pish. Kinwelmarsh having other
spirituall livings in his hands, the said Church of Gosbecke was for the most pte a long time
together served by weake and vnable curats. Styles and the rest of the pishioners being much

greived therewith and desirous to have a good Pastor and honest Minister to instructe them
painefully and sincerely in the true doctrine of Christ Jesus to theire sowles comforte, in and aboute
the yeare 1619, the said Styles and Nicholas Allen of Gosbecke gentl repaired to yor Orator who
was at that time Incumbent of Pettaugh, being the next pish, and made knowen theire wishes.
The pishioners were most willing by a generall contribucon of some reasonable some of money out
of theire private purses to pcure Kinwelmarsh to make a resignation. Yet it was not in the
power of Styles to present by reason of the assignment to Bowcer. Not longe before, Stiles and
the pishioners had caused Bovvcer’s sonne, being Curate there vnder Andrew Kinwelmarsh, to bee
thence removed, and Bowcer in his displeasure would not assigne his interest in the next advowson
but vpon an extraordinary deere and high rate. Theire desire and purpose was that yor Orator
might succeed Kinwelmarsh iu their church, and knowing that Bowcer and yor Orator were of very
inward acquaintance, they moved yor Orator to treat with him on their behalf, yor Orator at that
very time having just refused a pastorall charge offered by one Wiftm Stebbing. After this treaty
Bowcer assigned over his interest to - Sparrow and the pishioners procured Kinwelmarsh to resign
the Church to the ordinary. Sparrow, however, surrendered the assignment into the hands of Stiles
who proposed that yor Orator should pay twelve pounds p aun to Mr Kinwelmarsh in case he were
thereunto presented. Your Orator vtterly refused to be p'sented wth other than a clear conscience
before God and Man. Wherevpon Styles adventured of himself to pay the said twelve pounds, but
yr Orator would not consent. Nicholas Allen by way of mediation made apposition that Styles,
who had a sonne whom yor orator had and yet hath brought vp in learning, should give
yor Orator a graunt of the next avoydance in as ample man 3 as S1' Thoms Jermy had done to
Thomas Mathew, when yor Orator might wth safetie vndertake to free him from the payment of
the twelve pounds. Yor orator was accordingly instituted admitted and inducted. Yor Orator left
the graunt of the next avoydance of the said church in the custodie of Nicholas Allen in trust
that a good minister shall be presented by your Orator’s assignee (should your Orator happen to
die) to keepe the same for the benefitt of your Orator’s wife and children. But Mr Stiles having
conceaved causeless displeasure against yor Orator ffor demanding tith of ffower and twenty acres
of wood sold by the said Mr Styles, hath now giuen out yt he will spend y° value of the Mannor
of Gosbeck rather than yr sd Orator should haue ye next advowcon soe graunted. And the said
Styles hath not pd to y® sd Kenwelmarsh ye xij1 p annu, and hath exhibited a bill against your
Orator, to weare out your Orator, having a great charg of children, with expenceful suits in law,
who hath nevertheless in a true & carefull manner pformed his pastoral duty ever since his
sd incumbence in ye sd Church of Gosbecke. May it please yr good lopp to graunt his Mata most
gracious Writ of Subpena that sd William Stiles & Nicholas Allen may vpon their oathes discover
y® truth, to y® end yl yr Orr may leaue yl little small pvision for his sonue who is thereby to
be y® only stay of yr sd Or: familie.
In his answer Nicholas Allen gent says that the grant of the next Advowson of Gosbeck
church was made to Nicholas Sparrow brother in law to Complaynant. The difference betwixt
Complaynant and Mr Styles was by letters from the late Lord Keeper of the great Seale of England
referred to clteyn gentn and they finding no cause to relieve the Complt, as it seemeth, did
forbeare to make any answare.
The statements in Styles c Burrough, Cha5 I, B and A, SS. 75, 25, A° 1625, throw much
light upon this complicated suit. Bowcer agreed with George Burrough, Clarke, then & yet Viccar
of Pettaugh, who was to pay him lviu for the next avoydance and psentacon to Gosbeck.
Burrough pcured one Nicholas Sparrowe of Gosbeck, beinge his brother in la we, to take the

grant that he might psent him when the church became voide. Kynwelruarshe havinge other
spirituall livings in his hands Gosbecke was s]ved a long tyme together by weake curats and
menn of infamous lieff. Yor Orator (Styles) & the rest of the pisshioners, grieved & discon¬
tented, dealt with Kinwellmarsh about his resignacon, who being very ould and having been
Incumbent there well nye fiftye yeares agreed y* if he might haue xxv1 downe in ready money
& xiju a yeare more dureing his liefF he would resigne. Burrough seemed very thankefull
and pmised great love and 3 vice in requitall of there charge and pmised to pvide a
sufficient Curate to s]ve in his absence wcU would cost him xx1 p anii more than the xij1 that he
must paie to Kinwelmarshe. The pishioners paied Kinwelmarshe the xxv1 out of their owne purses.
Burrough wanting money to paye Bowcer, yor Orator (Styles) became bounden with him as his
suertye vnto one John Reynolds ats Etheridge father in lawe to Sparrowe & an inhabitant of Gosbeck
in an obligation of fower score pounds. Yor Orator prays the Court that he may be acquitted thereof.
George Burrough, fourth and youngest son of Thomas Burrough of Wickhambrook, was
baptized there on the 26th of October 1579. He entered Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, in
1594, was admitted to Bishop Nix’s Scholarship in Trinity Hall, 26th May 1597, and took his degree
of LL.B. in 1600. He was ordained priest 29th Sept. 1604, by John, Bishop of Norwich, and was
instituted the same year, on the presentation of John Turner, Gentleman, to the living of Pettaugh,
the sureties for his First Fruits being his brother Thomas Burrough of the parish of St. Dunstan
in the West, London, and his cousin Thomas Sherman. In 1621 he was permitted by dispensation
of the Archbishop of Canterbury, confirmed under the Great Seal, 14th March Jas. I, to hold the
adjoining rectory of Gosbeck together with that of Pettaugh. He retained Gosbeck, and perhaps
Pettaugh, during the Usurpation, and dying at the age of seventy-four was buried at the latter
place on the 21st of February 1653.
The Editor is indebted for most of these particulars to the kindness of Dr. Bensly, the
courteous Registrar of the Bishop of Norwich. They are given in “ Consignation Book,” No. 3, and

( ISitrrottjjIj of (England, 1692,
George Burrough, the American emigrant of the seventeenth century, whose name in his
adopted country was more frequently written Burrowes, is best known as the chief victim of the
final outburst of religious fanaticism which tarnishes the history of the New England settlements.
His whole story is tinged with adventure. Son of a Limehouse merchant and grandson of the
puritan Rector of Pettaugh, it is probable that his theological leanings, and much intercourse with
the old sea dogs of his native place, led him to cross the Atlantic. He graduated at Harvard
in 1670. His daughter Rebecca was baptized at Roxbury in 1674. In 1676 we find him preaching
at Falmouth, in the province of Massachusetts, with such acceptance that the community granted
him two hundred acres for his services. Scarcely wras he thus settled when the Indians, thirsting for
blood, swooped down upon the place and massacred its inhabitants. With such as survived he
escaped to Bang’s Island in the harbour, from whence he wrote the details of the disaster which
were forwarded to the Governor and Council at Boston. In 1680 he was ministering at Salem,
where unhappily he made enemies, but had returned to Falmouth in 1683. Again the Indians sacked
the place, and again he escaped with his life. On the 8th of May 1692, he was charged with
witchcraft and sent to prison. The official records of his trial on the 3rd of August following are
a sufficient vindication of his character, His indictment, dated 9th May in the 4th year of William
BURROUGH OF WICKH AMBROOK.

and Mary, King and Queen of England, sets forth that George Bin-rough, late of Falmouth in the
province of Massachusetts Bay, clerk, had used those detestable arts called Witchcraft within the
town of Salem against one Mary Walcott and others, she being thereby tortured, consumed, wasted
and tormented, against the peace of our Sovereign Lord and Lady, the said King and Queen.
Witnesses confessed that he had administered witch sacraments at their meetings. Their testimony,
such as it was, was corroborated by circumstantial evidence. Burrough was a man of extraordinary
strength and activity. On one occasion he had carried a cask of cyder unaided from a canoe to
the shore ; and on another had lifted, and whirled around him, a barrel of molasses by putting his
finger in the bunghole ; and on yet another had held out a gun of seven feet barrel with one
hand. Upon his urging that an Indian, who was present on the last occasion, had done the same, it
was answered by his accusers that the latter must have been the Devil, who, the witnesses swore,
looks like an Indian. It was said that his house was haunted with spirits, that he could tell what
his wives (for he had been two or three times married) had been doing during his absence, and
that he knew their secret thoughts Incredible as it may seem, he was convicted on evidence like
this. He was hanged on the 19th of August, on the Gallow’s Hill at Salem. His last prayer at
his funeral, for he was buried immediately afterwards, was so solemn, pertinent and affecting, that
Cotton Mather, the fanatical divine, who had busied himself at his accusation, trial and execution, and
who had preached when his last struggle had ended, was driven to say that no man could have
made such a prayer unless the devil had helped him.
But the witch finders had gone too far. A man of blameless life, of unusual attainments and
of singular generosity, had been judicially murdered, and public opinion began to turn. One month
later, Giles Cory, the last that suffered from these wretched charges, refusing to plead, was pressed
to death. Nineteen persons had been killed, professing their innocence. The gaol at Salem was
full of prisoners. Accusations were bandied about in all directions, implicating members of the
Council and even the Governor’s wife, Lady Phipps. It became clear to all right thinking persons
that an end must be made to so dangerous a movement. At the Court in January all the prisoners
were practically acquitted. Mr. Sewall, one of George Burrough’s judges, at a public fast,
acknowledged the error he had made, and desired to humble himself in the sight of God. In 1711,
the Government, confessing the wrong doing, at the instance of Charles Burrough, one of his sons,
made such restitution as was in their power, and granted special provision for his heirs, who still
held, it would seem, the two hundred acres which had been given him at Roxbury.
George Burrough kept up his intercourse with his English kinsmen almost up to the day of
his decease. He was the chief heir to his father in 1C81 and to his uncle, John Styles, in 1685.
In 1689, another uncle, Charles Burrough of Ipswich, remembered him in his will. He corresponded,
mostly on business matters, with William Burrough of Staple Inn, his cousin german, as late as
1692. His affairs are referred to in the Chancery Proceedings in Fere c. Burrough, Mitford III, cccxci,
and Burrough c. Buckland, Mitford III, ccccxii. He had many children. By her marriage with Peter
Thomas of Boston, liis daughter Elizabeth became the ancestress of a numerous and distinguished
progeny, Isaiah Thomas, LL.D., who founded the American Antiquarian Society, being one of
her descendants. Authorities : — Savage’s “ Genealogical Dictionary,” Hutchinson’s “ History of

I John Highmore of the parish of Saint Paul Covent Garden in the Couuty of Middlesex
Esquire being in declining health and not knowing how soon it may please God to take me out
of this transitory life do therefore make my will. First and principally I commend my soul to
God and my body to the earth to be decently buried in a genteel and handsome manner in the
vault in the parish church of Saint James Westminster, and I do particularly enjoyn my executor
that my body be put in a substantial leaden coffin within one of the most durable kind of wood
and that the lid be kept open and not fixed down until immediately before my interment which I
desire may not be made within the space of ten days after my decease unless my corpse will not
admit of being so long kept. I give to my nephew Thomas Burrough my executor the sum of ten
pounds in trust that he do pay the same to the Churchwardens and Overseers of S‘ James
Westminster to be by them distributed amongst the poor. Also ten pounds to the Churchwardens
and Overseers of Hampton in the County of Middlesex for the same purpose. To my cousin Mary
Sheaf, wife of . . . Sheafe the sum of twenty pounds for mourning and to . . . Burnel, daughter of
my late cousin Thomas Burnel the sum of twenty pounds. Also I will my executor pay a bond
given by him to my late cousin the Reverend Mr Samuel Highmore for payment of sixty three
pounds with interest. Also I require him to pay one other bond given to one . . . Neale for the
use of the twro daughters of William Cler, vintner, late of Stafford Street in the parish of S‘ George
Hanover Square. I require that all bonds given me by my late cousin Elizabeth Goldfinch widow
and my said cousin Mary Sheaf and her husband shall be .cancelled. Also I will that all bonds
given me by my nephews Thomas Burrough and William Burrough be cancelled and I give to my
said nephew William Burrough the sum of eight pounds for mourning and a mourning ring of one
Guinea value, also the sum of two hundred pounds. I devise him for his life one annuity of ffifty
pounds out of my lands. I heartily hope and hereby admonish my nephew and executor Thomas
Burrough as my dying request that he will from time to time preserve brotherly love and affection
towards my said nephew William and render him the best advice and services in his power. I
bequeath my said nephew Thomas Burrough a mourning ring of one Guinea value to be worn in

remembrance of me, also the residue of my estate, and I do appoint him sole executor. In witness
whereof I have to this my will written on one skin of parchment set my hand and seal the
second day of August 1756.
Since making my last will I have thought proper by way of Codicil to make the following
alterations therein. I now exempt the ffarm at Bramford near Ipswich in Suffolk and the ffreehold
house in Old Bond Street and my personal estate from being chargeable for the annuity to my
nephew William Burrough. But as to the large ffreehold house in Albemarl Street lett by lease to
the Bight Honrable Elizabeth Countess of Kildare, the Coach houses and stables in Ormand Mews
and the lands in Islington and all other lands I may dye possessed of it is my will that they
should stand as security for said annuity. Amongst my personal estate, besides money, Stock in
the publick ffunds Ac. I may probably dye possessed of a considerable quantity of plate and china
ware, some gold and some silver watches, some genteel ffamily seals, some diamond and some gold
ffamilv rings, some pictures of considerable value, part of them being portraits of my ffamily, a
considerable collection of books besides linnen furniture and curiosities, I earnestly desire my said
nephew Thomas Burrough that with the affection of a worthy and truly loving brother he will
cause (certain) bequeathed effects to be delivered into the hands of my said nephew' William, and
I recommend it to him that he will be as much more bountifull to his said brother as he
reasonably can in things not absolutely enjoined by my will. My cousin Mr Joseph Highmore of
Lincoln Inn Feilds his son and daughter and my cousin Mra Mary Sheaf likewise the sons of
my late cousin the Keverend Mr Samuel Highmore and the sons and daughters of my late
cousin Mr Nathaniel Highmore I desire may be invited to my ffuneral and that a mourning ring
of one Guinea value may be presented to each of them. As for my nephew William Burrough
should he be so far distant from London as he now is it will be much too far for him to
travel to town to attend my ffuneral. Mr Benjamin Ivishire of Poland Street whom I formerly
appointed undertaker of the ffuneral of my late sister I now appoint undertaker of my own. I
the said John Highmore have to this codicil set my hand and seal the thirtieth day of January
1757 in the presence of John Gubbins, Sarah Gubbins, David Ewart Not. Pub.
This will was proved with codicil annexed the fourth day of April 1759 by the oath of
Thomas Burrough Esquire the sole executor. P.C.C, 133 Arran.
Towai’ds the middle of the eighteenth century the period between death and interment,
which in the time of Queen Elizabeth and James the First had been but one or twTo days, became
considerably lengthened, apparently from a dread which had developed itself in the public mind
of being buried alive. Indeed directions were not unfrequently given by will, as in the present
instance, for a still more protracted delay ; some testators even insisting that their body should
be kept an entire fortnight in an open coffin before it was finally committed to the ground.
®iil af ®I)omas Jtomntglj, 1772,
This is the last will of me Thomas Burrough of the parish of Saint Martin in the ffields

pouuds, to my nephew John Burrough the annual sum of twenty pounds, to my nephew Charles

and executors shall pay one part to Mary Strong, one to John Burrough, one to Charles Burrough,
one to Margaret Burrough and the remaining part to Elizabeth Burrough. And I do appoint
the said Nathaniel Highmore and Thomas Sibthorpe to be executors. 1 do declare this only to
be my last will this seventh day of December 1772.
By Codicil dated 7 Novr 1775 the testator devised his messuage at Guildford to James
Blanch his servant and his heirs for ever. By another Codicil, 7th June 1776, he left to the
said James Blanch all his printed books, his bureaus, salts, drinking glasses, china, table clock
made by Tho. Tompion, his ffurniture Ac. Ac. ; to the wife of Mr Anthony Highmore and the
longest liver of her daughters, his gold repeating watch; to Anthony Highmore junior his small
gold watch with the gold chain and seals thereunto belonging.
This will was proved, with Codicils, the seventh day of November 1780 by the oaths of
the executors. P.C.C. 504 Collins.

descended vnto yor Orator as eldest sonne & next heire vnto said Wittm & Dorothe. But the
deed of entayle and divers other escripts and muniments ben causually come to the hands of
the said Wittm Averye, Adam Wyntropp, Israeli Forthe, Edward Bacon and Hester Keene of
Starston widowe, or some of them, who have made estates in secret manner to their owne vse,
wherby they intend to disinherit yor Orator.

of the Raigne of or Souerigne Lady Elizabeth, Wittm Forth, father of the Comp14, did take
to wyfe Dorothe Harvy kynswoman vnto this Def4 and for her joynture did assure said lands
vnto John Keene late of Starston in Norff. gent, and vnto this Defend4 ; wch deed the said
John Keene, as this Defend4 hath heard, did all his lyfe tyme verie safelie keep for the
benifitt of the said Dorothe & her children. Said deed came to the possession of Hester Keene
wyfe of the said John, and his sole and only executrix.
Unmindful of the parish registers and the inscription in Hadleigh Church, the pedigree on
page 119 of the present volume, following too closely Hark MS. 1560, makes the younger sons
of William Forth to be the children of a second wife, the daughter of . . . Kene. It is clear,
however, as well from the inscription and registers referred to as from the Chancery Proceedings
just recited and the Kene-Harvey pedigree in Hark MS. 1552, that Dorothy Harvey was the
mother, and Joan Kene the grandmother, of the sons in question, in common with their brothers
and their sister.

Armorial Hearings.
The Arms of Appleton of Waldingfield, at the Suffolk Visitation of 1577, were Argent, a fess
Sable, between three apples Gules, stalked and leaved Vert. The Crest, an elephant’s head Sable,
eared and tusked Or, wreathed round the trunk a snake entering the mouth Vert. The same
Arms and Crest were allowed at the Visitation of 1664, with a shield of pretence, for More of
Wiggenhall St. Germain, Sable, a swan with wings expanded Argent, beaked and legged Or,
within a border engrailed. A separate escutcheon at the side of the tricking in Harl. MS. 10S5
has More quartering Ermine a spear’s head embrued with blood proper.
On the brass of Mary Appleton, 1526, in the church of Waldingfield Magna, her figure is
surmounted by an achievement in which Appleton quarters Crane, Argent, a fess between three
crosses crosslet fitchee Gules, and impales Mountney, Azure, a bend between six martlets Or.
Some heraldic collections of the seventeenth century, as, for example, Harl. MSS. 1196
and 1560 , represent Appleton’s coat as Quarterly of twelve : 1, Appleton; 2, Crane; 3, Mollington,
Or, a fess between two chevrons Azure ; 4, Carbonell, Gules, a cross Argent, within a border
engrailed Or ; 5, Butler, Argent, three covered cups in bend Sable, cotised Gules ; 6, Sexton ;
7, Mountney ; 8, Isack, Sable, a bend Or, in sinister chief a leopard’s face of the second ;
9, Condy, “ Vice-admirall to the Kynge,” Barry wavy Argent and Azure, three anchors Or (the
MSS. differ as to the number of bars and of anchors); 10, Tuke, per chevron Argent and Sable,
three cranes’ heads erased counterchanged ; 11, Hawte, Or, a cross engrailed Gules ; 12, Wheathill,
per fess Azure and Or, a pale counterchanged, three lions rampant of the second. Crest, out of
a ducal coronet Or, three pine apples Vert, the tops purfled of the first. Motto, “ Difficilis
sed fructuosa.”
It should be observed that these MSS. have no official authority, that the crest they
depict is not that of the Suffolk Visitations, and that some at least of the numerous quarterings
attributed to Appleton have been assumed upon evidence which is exceedingly doubtful.
An excellent account of the Waldingfield family will be found in the “Memorial of Samuel
Appleton of Ipswich, Massachusetts,” by Isaac Appleton Jewett. It gives in full the pedigrees
of Appleton and Isaaclc of Kent from Harl. MS. 1196, together with engravings, including the
brass of Mary Appleton, and with transcripts of family documents, such as the most genealogical
will of liobert Byece, 1637, and the ancient Appleton inscriptions at Waldingfield, as copied by
Weever. On the other hand, the Appleton Pedigree and Arms from the Visitation of 1577 and
from Harl. MS. 1560, will be found in that useful work, “The Visitations of Suffolk,” edited by
Walter C. Metcalfe, F.S.A.

The brief but authentic pedigree of Appleton of Waldingfield, taken by Cooke, Clareucieux,
at the Suffolk Visitation in 1577, begins with the marriage of William Appleton with Rose Sexton.
But Harl. MSS. 1560 and 1196 add, upon what authority we know not, a number of earlier
descents. John Appleton of Waldingfield Magna, 1416, they say, had issue John Appleton of
Waldingfield Magna, 1459, and he in his turn had two sons, Thomas, who died in 1467, and
John, who died in 1483 — the latter being father, by Margaret his wife, of Thomas Appleton, who
married Margaret Crane. These MSS., helpful as they are, abound with statements which are not
supported by evidences. Together with the Appleton genealogies compiled by Candler and Blois in
the time of the Usurpation, they form the basis of the pedigree which appears on the next page.

Like most of the pedigrees in the Harleian MSS., that of Appleton above given cannot be relied upon for exactitude of
statement in all its details. Margery Crane, the wife of Thomas Appleton, was not the daughter, but the sister of the Robert Crane
who married Anne Ogard, and is indeed so described by him in his will, now in the custody of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury.
We learn alike from his Inquisition post mortem and from the will of Dame Anne Arundel, his relict, that he died without
surviving issue and that Robert Crane, his brother’s son, was his heir. Alice Spring, again, the second wife of Thomas Spring
of Lavenham, was the daughter of one King of Boxford. Margery Spring (not Alice as stated on p. 73), the first wife, was
sister and executrix of Thomas Appleton. To this day it is not quite certain whether William Appleton, who married Rose Sexton
and Edward Appleton, his brother, were not the nephews rather than the sons of Robert Appleton and Mary Mounteney, who
left no wills, and died unnoticed by the escheators of their day.

I’th name of God Amen. I Thomas Moore
the fourth yeare of my age above threescore
Revokeing all the wills I made before
make this my last. And First I doe implore
Allmighty God, into his hands to take
my soule which not alone himselfe did make
But did redeeme it with the pretious bloode
of his Deare sonne ; that tytle still holds good.
I next bequeath my body to the dust
From whence it Came, which is no more than just.
Desireing yet that it bee laid close by
my eldest daughter though I say not why,
And leave my Grandchild Martha (but her due)
my Lands and all my Chattells save a fewe
you shall hereafter in this schedule finde
to pyetye or Charitye designed,
wliome I my Sole Executrix invest
to pay these and my debts and take the rest.
But since that shee is vnder age I pray
Sr Edward Walpole and her ffather may
the Supervisors bee of this my will
Provided that my Cousen Colvile still
and Maior Spencely their assistants bee
foure honest men are more than two or three.
And then I shall not Care how sooue I dye
if they accept it, and I’ll tell you why.
There’s not a man of them but is so just
with wliome almost my soule I durst not trust.
Provided shee do make her second sonne
heyre to my house at least and halfe my land
If shee have such — and when she has soe done
Shee be a meanes to let him vnderstand
It is my wish his name be written thus
T. A. B, C. or D. Moore alius.
To the poore of Germans twenty pounds for a stocke to sett the poore on worke. It case it
please God my grandchild Martha should dye ere she come of age or be married I doe declare

University of Vermont (in memory of his wife), and has given largely to the University of Pennsylvania and other institutions.”
* Gershom Palmer was descended from George Denison of Stouington, Connecticut, who returned to Europe for a time, serving
as Captain under Oliver Cromwell, both in England and Ireland. Coming back to America, he was placed second in command
of the colonial troops, whom he headed in the war which destroyed the Narragansett nation, taking prisoner their chief
Miantonomo. He died at Hartford, during a session of the General Court, of which he was for many years a member.

Armorial Umrngs.
The Arms allowed at the Visitation of London in 1664 to “John Doget, mchant,” descended
from “ Grotten in Suff: ” were Gules, two greyhounds salient combatant, Or, collared Argent. The
crest was an unicorn’s head, Ermine, maned Or, horned Argent. Earl. MS. 1086. The shield
is a slight variant of that of Doggett of Honingham and Shernbourn in Norfolk, in which the
greyhounds are collared Sable. But the crest of the latter family is altogether distinct — a lion’s
head erased, Or, gorged with a mural coronet, Sable. Harl. MS. 1552. These insignia, together
■with others borne by various families of the name, form the frontispiece of the “ History of the
Doggett — Daggett Family,” by Samuel Bradlee Doggett, one of those excellent genealogies for
which the Americans are famous, the result of prolonged and often costly research, alike amongst
the ancient records of this country and the more modern registries on the other side of the
Atlantic. This work, for which the Editor is indebted for much useful information, abounds with
illustrations, the views of Groton and Boxford Churches being exceptionally clear and artistic.

It need scarcely be stated that the sum mentioned in this document is a merely nominal
one. There is a letter of Thomas Doggett respecting this property in the Massachusetts’ Historical
Society’s “Collections,” Series V, Vol. I, 179, dated 6th Oct. 1627, addressed “To my very loving
brother Mr John Winthrop Esqr at his house in Groton.” “ You desire,” he says, “ to helpe me
wth a chapman for my house & land. I am to goe (God willing) wth my vnckle Brand to London
to parley about the sale of it. I haue a plott of all my lands, and how many acres euery field &
close coteyne. I have been bidden 180011 for it, but my vnckle thinks it to be to littell. If a
gent will buy it to dwell in my prise is twoe thousand pownd.”

Alston, Compl*.
This Def* doth not knowe of any discourse, bgayne or agreem* betwen the Compl* and
WiHm Doggett, some tvmes her husband, and is a meere stranger to all the passages in
the Complts bill charged to the other Def6, Ann Duke, and her late husband. In 1810 the
said WiHm Doggett dyed. Before his death he made his last will and testam* .and thereby
amongst other things devised as followeth. “ I give to WiRm Doggett my sonne flower hundred
pounds, and to John Doggett my sonne ffower hundred pounds, and to Lappage Doggett my
sonne one thousand pounds, and to Richard Doggett one thousand pounds, to be payd to evily
of my said ffowre sonnes at their sem all ages of ffowre and tw'enty yeeres. I give vnto Anna

shillings. I doe give to the governoures of the free sclioole of the foundacon of the late good
Queene Elizabeth in Boxford tenn pounds.” And of the same his will the devisor appoynted
this Def1 and Thomas Doggett his sonne Executors. But Thomas Doggett relinquishinge his
executorshipp this Def* tooke vpon her thexecucon of the said will and made pbate in the
P^rogative Court of Canterbury, and caused the estate to be Inventoryed and apprized in 1610
and 1611. She hath payd many yeeres since seu] all legacyes by the said will bequeathed, and
hath long since fully administered her said husband’s jfsonall estate, that came to her hands, and
a thousand pounds more out of her owne purse. All wcU matters this Deft is ready to averre,

Kingston, Jamaica, 8th July 1703. Dear Brother. It is now about a week since I received
two letters from you, the one da.ted in November the other in January, in which I had one
inclosed from sister de Bary. I am just crawld out of a very severe ffeaver, and after that
ffeaver an Ague, which by the help of God and the Jesuits Bark is gone, but shall be some
time before I recover my strength. About three weekes since had a letter from your wife
who has been sick of a ffeaver but recovered. (Here follows a passage in cypher). lie serve her
in everything lyes in my power. And now I must tell you that on the fourth instant by the
packett Boat I received a letter from my Brother Otgher with an account of my Mother’s death.
When I consider how little advantage she had of liveing it is my opinion she is in the happier
state now. I here send you a coppy of part of the letter that my brother Otgher sent me. Pray
take noe notice of haveing received any letter from me — it will doe me a diskiudness.
“ She has made me (he writes) her sole executrix, but your brother John has thought fitt to
enter a Caveat against my Administring, and will perhaps make me spend some money which would
have done you and others good. There will be nothing comeing to him, and indeed his circumstances
is very bad. He hath done very ill to come from his wife and children at Carolina to serve the
Coll : who is but in bad circumstances himself. He thinketh to frighten me by his rough course,
and force me to comply with him, but he hath mistaken his man. Your mother’s estate is already
by losses and by her weakness greatly reduced — which is none of my fault. She has left you 201
for mourning and -} of the Residue, you allowing 3601 out of it which she formerly advanced you.
I doubt not something will be comeing to you but can make you noe dividend till I have done
with your brother. Your brother is to pay 6201 which he had advanced to him before he is to
have his } of the estate. I am sure he will be a debtor to the estate and, if he crosse me, can
charge him with more. I heare he lodgeth in the Fleet, where he will have noe good Councell
given him. But I value not the worst he can doe.”

Armorial Scarings.
The Arms, which accompany the earlier pedigrees of Drury, as for example in Harl. MS.
891, are Quarterly, 1 and 4, Drury ; 2, Freysell ; 3, Saxham. Later on, as the heiresses they
married added their shields to the family escutcheon, the Drury quarterings became considerably
augmented. The Drurys of Sussex, who claimed descent from Thomas Drury of Rougham, 1473,
and Catherine Whitwell, his wife, bore Quarterly of Eight ; 1 and 8, Drury ; 2, Saxham ; 3,
Freysell ; 4, Gedding ; 5, Naunton ; 6, Aspall ; and 7, Whitwell. The Arms upon the monument
in Rougham chancel to the memory of Sir Robert Drury, who died early in the reign of Charles
the First, agree substantially with those allowed to Robert Drury of Tendring, a descendant of
the Rougham family, at the Essex Visitation of 1664, a tricking of which appears in Harl. MS.
1085, and in the corresponding MS. at the College of Arms. (See the edition of Bysshe’s
Visitation of that County, edited by Dr. J. J. Howard, Maltravers Herald.) They are as follows : —
Arms. — Quarterly of 10; a mullet for difference: —
1, Drury, Argent, on a chief Vert, two mullets Or, pierced Gules.
2, Saxham, Argent, six cross crosslets fitchee Gules, 3, 2 and 1, a chief dancettee Azure.
3, Freysell, Sable, six cinquefoils Argent, 3, 2 and 1.
4, Gedding, Chequy, Argent and Gules, on a fess Azure, three round buckles Or, tongues
fessways to the dexter side.
5, Naunton, Sable, three martlets Argent.
6, Aspale, Azure, three chevronels Or.
7, Whitwell, Gules, a fess chequy Argent and Sable, between three pairs of annulets
interlaced Or.
8, Liston, Vert, ten bezants, 3, 3, 3 and 1.
9, Carbonell, Gules, a cross Argent within a bordure engrailed Or.
10, Bovill, Quarterly, Or and Sable.
Crest. — A greyhound courant Argent, collared and ringed Or. Below this monument is
another representing a woman in a winding sheet, with Drury impaling Sable, two bars embattled
and counter-embattled Argent, and in chief three plates, apparently for Barnes of Cambridgeshire.
As is well-known to genealogists, the Drurys of Hawstead, who descend from a younger brother
of the Drurys of Rougham, added a Tau cross to the mullets on the chief in the family arms,
a fact which has given rise to many ingenious conjectures. See “ East Anglian Notes and
Queries,” 1858, &c., Vol. I, pp. 12, 18, and Vol, III., p. 214.
The descents which follow are based for the most part upon the fine Drury pedigrees, now
in the possession of Sir Hereward Wake and of F. S. E. Drury, Esq., which were compiled in
1612 by Thomas Drury of Rougham, and used by Sir John Cullum in the preparation of his
“ History of Hawstead.” Valuable additions have been made from the Drury pedigrees in
Add. MS. 5523, which are annotated by Le Neve, and in Harl. MS. 6071, which were written
by Matthias Candler, a Suffolk contemporary of many of the later members of the family.

The Suffolk historians, Cullum in his “ History of Hawstead,” and Gage in his “ History of
Thingoe,” have devoted many pages to their most interesting memoirs of the Druries. The latter
has given us, almost in extenso, the wills of five members of the Hawstead house ; those, namely,
of Nicholas Drury of Bury, 1454; Elizabeth, wife of Henry Drury, 1475; Roger Drury, 1493
Sir Robert Drury, 1532 ; and Sir William Drury, 1557. That of Dame Anne Drury of Hardwick,

This lady, who was sister to the last Sir Robert Drury of Hawstead, went a hunting
whilst on a visit to Lady Wray at Glentworth in Lincolnshire. Being no horsewoman they
fastened her to her saddle with straps that she might not be dismounted. The animal became
restive and ran away, galloping furiously across the country. Her head dashed against the branches
of a tree, and the injuries were fatal. She had time, it would seem, to make this will before
she died. She was buried in Ashby church, hard by, where a splendid monument was erected
to her memory. Her effigy reclines on a tomb supported by two greyhounds segant collared.
“ Unhappy only in her death,” says the Latin inscription, “ she burst the portals on the feast
day of St. Michael, 1606, and joined the choirs of the blessed, having numbered but two and
twenty years.” “Gentleman’s Magazine,” 1831, part 2, p. 594.

The Arms of Drury of Ireland as depicted on the Funeral Certificate of Katherine,
daughter of Thomas Drury of Laughlin, co. Carlow, and wife of Sir John King, Kt., are : —
Argent, a bordure, Gules, on a chief, Vert, a cross tau between two mullets of the first.
Bnto> of Clapton.
Armorial Hearings.
The arms allowed to Francis Drury of Swaffham Prior at the Cambridge Visitation in
1619 were Argent, on a chief Vert a cross tan between two mullets Or pierced Gules, an annulet
of the last indicating descent from a fifth son. Such a fifth son, Thomas Drury of Candellers in
Hessett (see pedigree, p. 346), brother of Sir William Drury of Rougham, might well have been
the great grandfather of Thomas Drury of Fincham, the more immediate ancestor of the
Cambridgeshire Drurys. Other Suffolk Drurys, as is well known, made suggestive wills in the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, but their connection, if any, with the Rougham family has
not as yet been adequately investigated.
In St. George’s Visitation of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1684 (College of Arms, K. 7),
there is a tricking of the shield of William Drury of Earith and of his son Richard Drury,
High Sheriff of those counties in 1678. It agrees substantially with that described above, but
the mullets are not pierced. The Crest, a greyhound, Argent, which seems to be leaping rather
than running and is not collared or ringed, is charged with an annulet, Gules, for difference-
On the Drury tombstones at Claydon the Arms have the chief with the cross tau between
the mullets, but no sign of cadency, and the Crest is simply a greyhound courant.

The fall of the house of Leziate is a memorable instance of the vicissitudes of families.
In the too brief memoir ( Annual Biography , Yol. XIX) of Dr. Joseph Drury, the famous Master
of Harrow, himself a descendant of the Leziate family, we are told of the extravagance of its
last owner, John Drury, who lived in the spendthrift days of Charles the Second, and of the
sale of his estates, a step which his tried friend, Dr. Gibson, afterwards Bishop of London,
ineffectually endeavoured to prevent. In the Chancery Proceedings in “ Drury contra Turner ”
( Beynardson , 321/., 68), we have a vivid picture of the ruined gentleman, who had entered his
pedigree in the Norfolk Visitation not many years before, and of his hopeless endeavours to avert
his fate. In 1680 he took the fatal step of borrowing money. In 1682 his two sons became
securities for the payment of further bonds. In 1683 he sold his broad lands, perhaps provisionally,
in Leziate, Ashwicken, Holt, East Winch, Middleton, Mintling, Bawsey, Gayton and Glasthorpe.
[Norfolk Fines, Hill, 35 and 36 Chas. II.) In 1684 he tried to save himself by a second marriage,
but the lady’s portion was smaller than he had expected. ( Drury c. Hooke, Reynardson, 82, 136.)
In 1686 he assigned what was left him to trustees. And then, when all was lost, we find him
ending his days as a Warder in the Tower. William Drury, his younger son, had long before gone
to the West Indies, where, it is said, he became a buccaneer. George Drury, his eldest son, the
sometime heir of Leziate, studied law at Thavies’ Inn in 1680, and at the Inner Temple in 1687, but,
pressed by debts, absconded to Whitefriars, the “ Alsatia ” so cleverly depicted in the “Fortunes
of Nigel.” Marrying a second and richer wife in 1704, George Drury was sued by Sir John
Turner of King’s Lynn, his father’s ci’editor, for the bond he had countersigned some two and
twenty years before. His later fortunes are not so clear. He made his will as George Drury of
the Inner Temple, gentleman, in 1716, and it was proved by his widow in January 1719, old
style. One of his grandsons, Robert Drury, the rollicking dramatist, whose now forgotten plays
repose amongst the rarer volumes in the British Museum, died young ; but another, Thomas
Drury, the father of the Head Master of Harrow, lived to an advanced age and retained much
traditional knowledge of his forefathers. See Life of Dr. Joseph Drury in the “Annual Biography
and Obituary,” 1835, and in the “Dictionary of National Biography,” Drury of Knightstone in
Burke’s “Landed Gentry,” Vol. Ill, Supplement, 1849, etc., etc.
In his will, dated 25th Feb. 1716, George Drury, of the Inner Temple, London, Gentleman
(being then about sixty years of age), infirm in body but of sound mind, bequeathed a guinea
apiece to Robert Drury, his son, and to Eleanor, his daughter, wife of William Pitt. The
rest of his estates he devised to Elizabeth, his wife, and to her heirs. The witnesses were Susan
Bell, John Keighley, and James Paget. Probate was given to Elizabeth Drury, the relict, on
the 22nd day of January 1719.

Apart from Fines and Subsidy Rolls, there are but few evidences relating to the earlier
Langhams of Suffolk in our public offices of record. These, however, abundantly testify that they
were knights and gentlemen, and that they held the manor of Langham Hall for many generations.
The inscriptions to their memory, formerly on the floor of Langham church, have long since
disappeared, but their arms (Argent, a fess, Gules, aud a label of three points, Azure) still
remained on four of the faces of the octagonal font when Davy visited the place in 1843. An
excellent account of their alliances and descents was printed by Morant in his “ History of Essex.”
They resided much in this latter county after the marriage, circa 1341, of Sir William de Langham
with the sister and heiress of Sir John de Wateville, who brought with her the manors of Panfield
and Hempsted. These, together with their old patrimony of Langham in Suffolk, ultimately passed,
by the marriage of Alice Langham, the heiress of the family, to the Cottons. The fullest pedigree
of the Langhams of Langham is that compiled by Sampson Lennard early in the seventeenth
century (Harl. MS. 1500). It is given, in italics , with additions from other sources (including
Harl. MS. 1137), on the next page.

There were Laughams of Mildenhall and Bury St. Edmunds in the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. Simon Langham, of the latter place, was one of the sons-in-law of William Payton of
Risby, whose will was proved in 1556, and one of the plaintiffs in Payton contra Hammond in
1588. See Pedigree of Payton, Hammond and Langham of London, on page 262. Another som
in-law was Thomas Bright, whose descendants entered pedigrees in the Suffolk Visitation of 1664.
“ The Brights of Suffolk, England,” printed at Boston, Massachusetts, one of the best family
histories extant, contains many allusions to their Langham cousins, and reproduces a letter from
George Langham, afterwards of Clapham in Surrey, to Thomas Bright of Netherhall near Bury,
dated 22 May 1651. It relates to Thomas Bright’s son, then in Malaga, where the Langhams
had a factor, and alludes to the writer’s late uncle Scales, his brother Harvey and his cousin,
Joseph Withers. It will be seen from his will, which we subjoin, that George Langham, son of
Simon Langham and Rose Payton, and who is described in his pedigree as one of the Captains
of the City of London, was engaged officially in the Civil Wars, and contemplating the possibility
of death in the service. This was in 1643. In 1631 the Arms of the Langhams of Langham,
his knightly predecessors in the days of the Plantagenets, Argent, a fess Gules, a label of three
points, Azure, had been allowed him by the heralds, when he entered his pedigree in the Visitation
of London. The same arms were confirmed to George Langham, his son, the correspondent of Thomas
Bright, at the Visitation of Surrey in 1662.
Will of Qknrge Utangbam, 1643.
I, George Langham of London, Marchantailor. considering the certainty of death, and more
espially calling to mind the employment wch it hath pleased god at this tyme to call me vnto,
and the danger therof, do make this my last will. In the first place I bequeath my sowle vnto
god my maker and to Jesus Christ my redemer, and my body to the earth where it shall
please god to suffer it to be layd. My psonal estate being much dimminished by the will of
god, my will is that yt be devided into five equall partes : of which I doe bequeath fower to my
fower children wch are not as yet advanced in porcon ; that is to say, my sonnes Henry Langham>
Thomas Langham, William Langham, and my daughter Elizabeth Langham, and the other fyft part
I doe leave to executor to pforme legacies. I desire my executo1' to remember my sister Porter
so long as she liveth. Vnto my two granchildren Jon Juxson, eldest sonne to my son in-law Mr
John Juxson of Morclacke, and vnto George Harvie, eldest sonne vnto my daughter Harvie, ten
poundes a peece at their ages of twenty one yeares. And yf it shall please god that I dye in
this Service, my will is that the horse wch I borrowed of my good frend, Mr Edward Crople of
London, mercer, be restored vnto him, or the value of him if he be left in the service, and
a tierse of Clarret wine be given him for his love and courtesie in lending me that horse. Vnto
the poore of Garlicke Hive five pounds. Vnto the Company of Merchant tailors. I doe ordaine
my eldest sonne, George Langham, sole executor, yf he be liveing after my deeease. And yf
it shall please God to call him out of this mortall life before me, I will my second sonne, Henry
Langham, to be sole executor. In witness whereof I have herevnto set my hand and seale in

It would appear from the will of John Langham in the Bury Register, dated 1476, that the Langhams of
Bury St. Edmunds and of Mildenhall were very nearly related. As late as the beginning of the present century
there were still Langhams at Mildenhall, one of whom, William Langham, had an only surviving son, John Langham
of Northwold (born 3 May 1795, and died 16 Oct. 1847), who assumed, by Royal license in 1813, the arms and
surname of Carter, in lieu of his patronymic, and was a J.P. and D.L. for Norfolk. He married, 9 Jan. 1819,
Mary Anne, daughter of William George Daniel Tyssen of Fouldon Hall, and has left numerous descendants.

Aldous Arnold, born 16 April, 1713.
The Arms of Richard Aldous, as depicted on his monument in Huntingfield Church, are a lion rampant holding a ring
in his dexter paw. Crest : Out of a Viscount’s Coronet, a demi-lion rampt. ; in his sinister paw a sword erect.
Those claimed by John Aldous of Moulton, at the Suffolk Visitation of 1664. who was probably one of the same family,
were Argent, a chevron between three birds displaying rising Gules ; on a chief Sable, three mullets of the field. The crest
was a bird rising Gules. Harl. MS. 10S5.
The constant intercourse between our sea coast towns in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a fact scarcely sufficiently
realized at the present time, lends some support to the assumption that the Arnolds of Lowestoft, Dunwich and Cromer ( Norf.
Visitns. Harl. Soc.), all belonged to the same stock. That some of the latter did settle in Suffolk is known from the Will
of Gertrude Arnold of Oxnead, 1624, and from the pedigree of John Arnold, of Battisford, in the Suffolk Visitation of Sir
Edward Bysshe. These Battsford Arnolds bore for their Arms, Sable, a chevron between three dolphins embowed Argent.
Their Crest was, On a wreath a dolphin embowed Argent. Harl. MS. 10S5.

Page 25. Winthrop of Groton. Alice “ Henny,” 1st wife of Adam Winthrop. Probably Alice Hunne. See the Cely-
Hunne-Byrd matter on pp. 166 and 223. By a typographical mistake she is stated to have died 25 June
1533. The month should be January. See the Latin pedigree of Winthrop, p. 4.
Ibid. William Winthrop is here stated to have died 2 March 1682, but the Latin pedigree (p. 6) gives the
date 1 March 1581, which is probably correct.
Ibid. Jane Winthrop, who married Thomas Gostlin, is said to have been married on Jan. 3, 1612. This is a
printer’s error. The date ( see p. 6) was Jan. 6. She did not die, as here stated, in 1616, but was
living as late as 15 Feb. 1663, when she is mentioned in her sister Downing’s letter. See p. 95.

Ibid. John Winthrop (last descent but one) did not die, 1819, at Baton Rouge, but at Washington, U.S.
Pages 26-27. John Winthrop, eldest son of John Winthrop and Mary Forth, was reallyT born 12 Feb. 1605, Old
Style, as stated on p. 7. But on pp. 26-27, the New Style date, 1606 is given. Feb. 12 is transformed,
‘by typographical error, into Feb. 15.
Page 26. John Winthrop was undoubtedly married to Mary Forth on the 16th of April 1605, as stated on p. 7 ;
but the month is here erroneously given as March.
Page 27. Winthrop of New London. Martha Fones, first wife of John Winthrop, jun., was married in February,
1631, New Style, not 1630 a3 stated in the text.
Ibid. Fitz John Winthrop, it turns out, was born in Boston, not in “ Ipswich,” as often stated.
Page 28. Winthrop of Antigua. The first volume of Mr. Vere Langford Oliver’s admirable History of Antigua had not
been issued when our account of the Winthrops of that island went to the press. He points out that
Sarah Winthrop, wife of Colonel Samuel Jones, was not “ probably s.p.,” as is usually represented, but
that she married 2d Colonel Edward Byam, brother of her sister’s husband, and left issue by him.
Page 30. Winthrop of London. The Rev. Edward Winthrop, who died in 1824 (not 1826), was Vicar of Dareuth,
co. Kent, and not Rector of West Mailing, as to which we were misinformed. His wife was daughter
of Henry Everleigh, gent., of Teignton, co. Devon. His daughter Martha died unmarried in 1855, but her
sister Frances married in 1845 the Rev. John Woodruff, Vicar of Upchurch, Kent, and left issue, inter
al. the Rev. Charles Everleigh Woodruff, M.A. of Oriel College, Oxford, and now Rector of Otterden.
Ibid. William Winthrop, sometime Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge, married Frances Mary, daughter of
the Rev. George Feacliam, Vicar of Dorking, Surrey.
Page 41. Sharpe of Islington. “John Bullen ” should be John Buller. This was, perhaps, the “cosen Bulwer”
who came to Adam Winthrop’s house a day or two before he went to see his cousin Joan Muskett,
2 June 1597. Adam Winthrop’s Diary.
Page 65. Alabaster of Hadleigh. According to the parish registers of St. Peter’s, Cornhill, Thomas Alabaster
described in Adam Winthrop’s Diary as having died in 1620, was buried June 4th 1624. It is not
always easy to explain the conflicting dates of contemporary documents. In this instance it is not
improbable that different persons were referred to.
Page 64. Vesey of Wix. Joan, daughter of William Cardinall of Bromley, and widow of Robert Vesey of Wix,
married secondly Robert Suckling, Esq., M.P. for Norwich, 19 Nov. 1577. Her son Charles Suckling of
Woodton, Norfolk and Barsham, Suffolk, intermarried with the Drurys of Aylsham and of Besthorpe.
See pp. 370 and 355.
Page 76. Still of Hadleigh. For the will of George Still, B.D., the Bishop’s brother, see p. 165.
Page 86. Fones of Nustbed. On the last line of the ancient pedigree of his family Samuel Fones is described
as “act. 12 a0 1628.” In the modern pedigree which follows he is said to be “aged 11 a0 1629.”
The latter date is given in the Inquisition of his father, Thomas Fones. Discrepancies of this kind are
not uncommon in old documents, which were based oftentimes upon verbal evidence only7.

SUFFOLK MANORIAL FAMILIES.
Page 87. Subsequent discoveries, including the will of Marj’ Paul, given on p. 168, and those of her sister Sarah
Fones (P.C.C. 46 Edmunds), and her cousin, Eleazar Hasell (P.C.C. 8 Isham), have established an
important modification of the pedigree of Fones of Suffolk. Mary, the daughter of Eleazar Dunkon,
was the wife of Dr. Thomas Fones, and not, as here erroneously stated, of Samuel Fones, his father.
In this instance, as sometimes happens, the lives of father and son, were almost contemporaneous, and
each had a wife named Mary. Barnaby and Anne Fones were devisees, not of Eleazar Dunkon, but of
their brother, the Doctor, who pre deceased his father by fifteen years.
Page 99. Downing of Ipswich. Susan Downing, wife of Francis Kirby, had previously married Joseph Carter, by
whom she left issue. See the will of Richard Blades, 1634, in the Commissary Court of London.
Page 118. Fokth Pedigree, Candler MSS. “His wife had a child, but he disowned it.’’ The story of the domestic
disagreements of Charles Forth and Elizabeth Jernegau, his wife, is given in a suit in the Court of
Requests, Hunt’s Series, 27, 45. Two children were born of the marriage, but the husband is described
as a spendthrift and a rover, and the Blois MS. tells us that he was ultimately disinherited by his
father.
Page 119. Forth of Hadleigh. The parish register of St. Dionis Backchurch, London, shows that William Forth
married Elizabeth Powell 17 Jan. 1540, Old Style.
Ibid. William Forth of Hadleigh, who died in 1599, had but one wife, Dorothy Harvey, as shown on p. 315.
Joan Kene, described in the MSS. as his second wife, was in reality Dorothy Harvey’s mother.
Page 144. Clopton of Groton. The excellent pedigree of Clopton in Add. MS. 5523, tells us (fo. 84b) that “ Will’m
Clopton, now of Groton in com Suff. (the father of Thomasine Winthrop) was y 1 y builded and
dwelte at Castlelynes in p’ish of Groton p’d, who haueinge spent all his fath’s lands and patrimonye, he became
heire to his Yncle frauncz of Melford p'ke. This Wm Clopton now is an Esq vizt’ one of if Justices for
y ‘ Hundred of Babrega 1614.”
Page 145. Clopton of Liston. The pedigree of Clopton of Liston, Add. MS. 5523, fo. 85a, written in 1713, adds so
much to the knowledge of the later descents of that family, that we insert it in this place.

Another daughter of Vincent Norrington was wife of Thomas Palmer, citizen and goldsmith of London,
for whose will, proved 16 May 1614, see New England Genealogical Register for January 1899.
Citllum of Hawstkad. The will of Charles Cullum of Duntnow, 1689, was proved Arch. Middx., Essex
and Herts, Book “ Sewell,” p. 277b.
Garnkys of Mickfibld. The late Mr. Joseph Woodcock, solicitor, of 20, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London,
claimed to be a descendant of John Woodcock of Haleswortk who married Elizabeth, daughter of John
Garneys of Hoxford. He was an ardent student of heraldry, and left drawings, seal impressions, etc.,
of the Garney’s qnarterings, differing but little from those described on p. 189.
Ghioo of Bealings Parva. The will of Dame Rechord Deane (P.C.C. 143 Pembroke), dated 15 July 1648,
abounds with references to the Griggs and their connections. Robert Grigg, her son, then deceased, is
described as a Minister of God’s Word, and his children as under age at that date.
Goodwin of Booking. Stowe MS. 790, now re-numbered 692, is officially described as ‘‘An Alphabet of
Armes in the Handwriting of Sr Christopher Barker, Garter,” who held office from 1536 to 1549. His
signature occurs on fo. 2. Amongst his grants, which are given at the end of each letter, is the
following : — “ Will’m Goodwyn of bokkynge in the Countie of Essex argent a pale goulles theron a flowre
de luce of the fyrst betwenc ij plats / on eche syde a torteaux bytwene two floare delyce of the pale / on
his Creste a sleepe of mallowes verte thereon ij Counyes encountrante argent / browsynge thereon / the wrethe
or and b. Mantell g \ lyned argent / bottomd or/.”
Goodwin of Bull’s Hall. Two seventeenth century pedigrees, the one in the College of Arms and
the other in the Free Library at Norwich, throw much light upon the marriages and descendants of
Cecily Reedham. The first, dated about 1633, gives the common ancestry of Sir Thurston Smith of
Cratfield in Suffolk and Sir Owen Symth of Ermingland in Norfolk, and the second, copied in 1657,
relates to the Spelmans. Thomas Spelman of Norwich, it tells us, third sou of Erasmus Spelman of
Beeston, near Litcham, in Norfolk, married Cecily, daughter and heir of Reedham, widow of Raphe
Goodwyn of Ipswich, and, before that, of Smyth of Suffolk. From these and other sources the following
brief pedigree may be deducted : —

Goodwin of Torrington. John Ingold (not Inglose) of Kesgrave, in Suffolk, by his will, Arch. Suffolc,
8 July 1535, devised lands in Little Bealings, etc., to Henry Goodwiu and his children. By a printer’s
error the date is twice given as 1635.
Hammond of Ufford. Thomas Hammond, who emigrated to Norway, was known there as “Thomas
Englishman.” He came to Troudhjem in the reign of Charles II, and has left many descendants. His
grandson, Thomas Angell, who was very wealthy, fouuded the famous charity called by his name,
providing especially for such of his kindred as might fall into poverty in future years.
Gordon of Letton. Abigail Kuyvett, who married Martin Sedley, was daughter of John Knyvett and
sister of Sir Thomas. Sir Richard Saltonstall should be styled “of Yorkshire.” Sir Richard Saltonstall
of Essex was quite another man, but the two are frequently confounded. A number of letters from
Brampton Gurdon to John Wintlirop, Governor of Massachusetts, are to be found in the Fourth Series
of the Massachusetts Historical Society’s Collections. John Gurdon was M.P. for Ipswich, 1640.
Burrouqh of Wickhambrook. In the light of nineteenth century criticism, Cotton Mather’s action at
the trial and execution of George Burrough is only to be excused on the ground of intense and
inherited prejudice. But to speak of him, generally, as a “fanatical divine” is to do him less than
justice. To no writer are Anglo-American genealogists more indebted for the links which bind the New
England emigrants to their kinsmen of the old world than to the gossiping, learned and enthusiastic
author of Magnalia Christi Americana.
For “. . . entered Harvard College 1870,” in the accouut of George Burrough of New England, substitute
“ A.B. Harvard College 1670.” Although described as “clerk” in his indictment, there is no record of
his ordination. He was, doubtless, a Nonconformist minister.

Appleton of Waldingfikld. The inscriptions are in Little Waldingfield church, not at Great Waldingfield,
as stated by Weever.
Ibid. John Appleton was second , not third, in descent from John Appleton of Waldingfield Parva, who
died 14 H. 4.
It is but right to say that the earlier descents of Appleton, as given in Harl. MSS. 1198, 1560, etc., have
never before been criticised ; nor, indeed, with the exception of details pointed out in the footnote,
have they ever been disproved. The question, here perhaps unnecessarily raised, as to the exact
paternity of William Appleton, the husband of Rose Sexton, would never have occurred had the usual
Inquisitions, Fines, etc., connected with the inheritance of feudal estates, been extant in his case.
Dkury of Sussex. Alice, widow of John Drury, LL.D., married Francis Nevill, Esq., 2 Oct. 1616, and
made her will 14 Oct. 1618. Chat 1 B. A. D.D. 44, 49, Drury c. Jordan. Her grandson, Francis
Drury, was of Watergate in 1664, and his wife was daughter of John Weston, Esq., of Speldhurst, co-
Kent. Chas I. B. X A. D.D. 13, 45 Drury c. Horton.
Drury of Hawstkad. Henry Drury of Ickworth was Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk 1423-30, and M.P
for Suffolk 1433 and 1435.
Drury of Besthorpe. Catherine, eldest daughter of William Drury the first of Besthorpe, is called
Catherine, not Mary, in her grandfather’s will. Catherine, wife of Nicholas Drury of Intwood 1691,
was daughter of Sir Robert Jenney, not Sir John. Jermyn and Norris quoted by Davy in his MSS.
Drury of Hedgerley. William Drury, the heir of Hedgerley, was still engaged with his case against
Darell in December 1645, being then blind and weak, with only an annuity of £40 a year. Calendar
of House of Lords MSS. in the sixth Report of the Historical MSS. Commission. Frances, his sister,
married, 1633, Henry Allen, Esq., of the Inner Temple. License in Faculty Office. Harl. Soc. Vol. 24.
Rowland Hynde was of Hedsor (not Hedsworth), co. Bucks. He died in 1608, and Elizabeth, his wife,
11 Jany. 1606. There is a brass to their memory in Hedsor church. There is also a brass in Penn
church to Dame Susan Drury, who died 3 Feb. 1640, and her daughter Sarah, wife of John Penn.
Lipscomb’s Buckinghamshire. Anne, sister of Sir Henry Drury, married, 9 July 1605, Austin Alexander.
Hedgerley Parish Register.
Arnold of Lowestoft. Will of Aldous Charles Arnold, fifth line, for “Wringfield” read Wingfield.
Ibid. There is a fine monument in St. Margaret’s church, Lowestoft, over the north door, to the memory
of Aldous Arnold and his three wives, surmounted by the aims, Sable, a chevron Argent, between
three dolphins embowed of the same. Crest, a dolphin embowed Argent.
There is a monument in St. Mary’s Church, Bungay, “ To the memory of Peregrey Browne, gent., who

-Winthrop of London. For “ Everleigh," read Eyeleigh.”
Fonks of Nusteed. Samuel Fones the younger is incidentally named in the will of his father, Samuel
Fones, in 1693, not in that of his brother, Thomas Fones. It is probable that he was then dead.
Downing of Ipswich. James Downing went to New England in 1630, not 1640, as stated in the text.
Winthrop of Groton. The first wife of Adam Winthrop died in 1533, not 1538, as here erroneously
printed.
Drury of Besthorpe. There is, apparently, some confusion in the early descents of this family as given
in the MSS. It is stated in the Inquisition post mortem of Charles Drury, taken 35th Henry VIII,
that long before his death one Robert Drury Esqr was seized of a Manor in Besthorpe, which he
enfeoffed to one Robert Drury of Besthorpe and Ela his wife, with remainder to Charles Drury their
son and heir. Robert Drury of Besthorpe had died, but Ela was still living. Charles Drury their
son deceased 23d Feb. 32d Henry VIII, William Drury his son and heir being of the age of four
years and upwards.
Drury of Leziate. On the 19th of March, 1692, the Administration of Elizabeth Drury, late of St. Giles’,
Cripplegate, widow, was granted to John Jurin, the guardian of Isaac Drury, a minor, her natural and
lawful son. Admans. P.C.C.
Arnold of Lowestoft. — Frances Arnold was daughter and heir of Peregrey Browne. For Birchinshaw (see
about the middle of the pedigree) read Byrchinshaw.
Edward Arnold was Bailiff of Dunwicli in 1314 and 1325. In 1334 (7 Edw. Ill) the feefarm rent of
sixteen pence was due to the King “ de heredibus Edmundi Arnold pro Christepenysaker.” Sir Henry
Harnold, “Knight and Freer,” was buried in the Black Friar’s church there. ( Weever. p. 720). In 1496
Ameys Arnold “ gaff nets to the Cherche, viii3 vid.” See Gardner’s History of Dunwich.
